What do you think "fraud and theft" mean in this context? Sick people aren't great fraud targets, they're frequently unable to work and have already lost what money they had to medical bills. The "fraud" is insurance fraud, for which the PII would be things like your name and policy number (i.e. what's needed to file a fraudulent claim against your policy) rather than your actual medical records. And the parties most interested in having access your medical records are the insurance companies themselves, as already mentioned. There is a fairly large financial incentive for a shady insurance company to use patient medical records to poach low risk patients.
