The Right to be Forgotten: Applying European Privacy Law to American Electronic Health Records	2016	36	.pdf	application/pdf	12322	535	48	To address the United States' lack of health information privacy rights, the government should consider the following steps: explicitly recognize a right to data privacy; pass legislation that strengthens HIPAA enforcement granting a private right of action on the federal level; adopt a right of erasure for health data found acceptable to be removed by HHS through administrative notice and comment proceedings; and grant a right to be forgotten in HIPAA for information that is breached and released onto the Internet. ”117 HIPAA was a congressional attempt to provide administrative simplification of the health care system through a health information system with the electronic transmission of certain health information.118 HHS began to adopt a set of rules to govern health information privacy with the Privacy Rule.119 The Privacy Rule has three purposes best described in three words: protect – safeguard the rights of consumers “by providing them access to their health information” and restricting the inappropriate use; trust – “improve the quality of health care” by “restoring trust” between those supplying and seeking health care; improve – develop a “national framework for health privacy protection” to improve “efficiency and effectiveness.”	cache/ihlr-21336.pdf	txt/ihlr-21336.txt
