Penalties are $100-$50,000 per violation (i.e. per leak for each person), up to $1.5 million per year[0]. If in the US (I'm assuming given you mention your health insurance) you can report it to your state insurance commissioner which may have already occurred for your incidents.

There's also possible prison sentences. I just love it when someone wants to "get tough on X" when all the laws are already tough on X and just unenforced. That's how you end up with every American committing three felonies a day without knowing it.
I'll bite: examples?
