This policy is consistent with Archie B. Carroll's philosophy of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The World Business Council for Sustainable Development has defined CSR as “the continued commitment of business to contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as the community and of society as a whole” (WBCSD). Improving quality of life is a goal that all policies should strive for, and HIPAA has achieved this. The Department of Health and Human Services produced a report estimating how many lives could be improved by HIPAA. The Health Insurance Association of America was cited in the report, saying that HIPAA would "cause approximately 1.6 million new people to purchase individual insurance each year," which would also result in "a 28 percent increase in the number of people covered in the country. the individual market” (Hong, S). Each year, millions of Americans will enjoy the luxury of health insurance, and that number continues to grow. This is a major impact on society and the well-being of Americans.
