Patient Privacy Toolkit

Patient Privacy Rights Foundation has launched a toolkit for healthcare consumers. It includes forms such as How to talk to your doctor, action items such as Petition Advocacy 101, complaint form to HHS and more. Looks like a good start and hopefully will be added to over time.
