I guess the response now should be "See the writeup in the link. THEN tell me 
what legal controls exist." Given this case, what's the point of HIPAA and 
similar laws? If such laws have any meaning, they _must_ include implication of 
provisions against out-sourcing/off-shoring such work. Liability seems to be 
huge and cost-cutters are nearly blind to it -- so far.
