That is HIPPA.

You don't have a right to privacy with regard to the compensation you receive from your employer. The health insurance you receive from your employer is a part of your compensation. Therefore you have no right to privacy about your health insurance.

There is a distinction between your medical information regarding which you have the right to privacy and your health insurance information regarding which, if you receive insurance from your employer, you have no right to privacy.

The self-insured have a choice. They can choose to protect their privacy with regard to the status, type, etc. of health insurance they are purchasing or obtaining or, they can pay the additional tax or penalty (as you wish) to the government to help cover the costs of healthcare that may not be covered by their insurance.

The important thing is that as many people have insurance as possible without intruding on anyone's privacy. And that is what the ACA achieves.
