I don't see why this is such a big deal. Under the new healthcare laws, the IRS is going to be managing a vast majority of American healthcare records anyway. I think these agents were just being proactive!
Remember it's "theft" until you get someone to pass a law requiring people to voluntarily give you what you want.
