consent under s. 1360

[James Love <love@tap.org>]

Janlori and Deirdre,

would you clarify a few things about the consent provisions in S. 1360?

Under the provisions of the bill, could a person condition the sale of a 
product or service or an offer of employment upon "consent" to obtain 
access to medical records?   Would this include such situations as
where access to :

     life insurance
     auto insurance
     health insurance
     employment in any job 
    
would be conditioned upon consent?
