Wife got a letter from United Healthcare saying some health info may have been compromised. Basically, saying sign up at X places to monitor lock/credit history. Same as the last several times this has happened (e.g. the site said wife had 9 breaches of data in her history).
I want to sue UH for this breach of data. I have to believe there was some sort/level of negligence somewhere.
The AI wording is below. How to prove harm is probably the get-out-of-jail-free card for their negligence?

While you cannot directly sue for a HIPAA violation because it does not provide a private right of action, you may still be able to sue a healthcare provider for a breach of health data by claiming negligence or breach of contract under state laws if your medical information was mishandled and you suffered harm as a result;
