In October 2014, four boxes containing the records of 12,500
Philadelphia-based Independence Blue Cross members were accidentally tossed
in the trash by maintenance staff, instead of being relocated to another
floor as intended. The team initially believed the boxes had been shipped
to one of Independence’s off-site storage facilities, but learned of the
error on Nov. 14. Names, addresses, phone numbers, physician names, health
care plans and group numbers were included in the dumped documents, as were
8,800 members’ Social Security numbers. Independence’s member numbers are
comprised of a person’s Social Security number and a two-digit suffix.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
