Ouch: A NY health plan failed to clear the hard drives on the copiers it leased prior to returning them.  The office equipment lessor then resold the machines, including one to CBS News, which found health information on the hard drive. Almost 350,000 patients were impacted.  The health plan, Affinity, settled with OCR for $1.2 million.  Lesson to be learned?
