Charging for medical records or records of any kind is SOP for many organizations. The big issue for me is the use of our social security numbers.

I had a procedure done in early 1990's and looked on to the computer screen
to see that my name, address, telephone number, dob, social security number, etc appeared. I asked the doctor why the medical community didn't simply assign a patient number to be used throughout that person's life?
