It's a story because it's a privacy violation and also a HIPAA violation.
Very similar to the case where health care providers were using Facebook trackers which was sending PII and PHI (private health info) to Facebook which has triggered multiple lawsuits.

It's great that some light is being shined on these violations. You can't just put spyware tracking on sensitive websites.
