Introduction
In the mid-1990s, the Group Insurance Commission (GIC) in Massachusetts released anonymized health records for research purposes, believing that removing explicit identifiers like names would protect individuals' privacy. However, by combining this data with publicly available voter registration information, individuals could be re-identified, exposing sensitive health information.
