You completely misinterpret this section of the law. This section requires health care providers (companies) to provide information on the TYPE of coverage they provide when the plan they provide is the absolute minimum one. Section 6055 does NOT state that only name, address, TIN, and "policy information". That is your own incorrect interpretation as well. Section 6055 is not a section that deals with medical records on individuals at all, but in fact just requires companies that provide plans to provide information on those plans to the government.
If you don't believe me, look at the law.

Just search for "6055" on the page and read it yourself. Whenever I see chopped up references cut and pasted I get suspicious that some important points have been left out to suit the writer's own agenda. In this case the suspicion was justified.
