FWIW, I recently had to get the records of a medical test that was performed when I was a teenager. All I had to do was fax the hospital a form with my date of birth, approximate year the test was done, and a signature, and they sent the records to me in the mail. Absolutely terrifying.
I'd rather have my health records public than information that could be used to compromise my financial security, considering the US doesn't enforce squat against credit credit bureaus who provide blatantly false information.
