Why the exception of facsimile? Where I worked before, in the medical information industry, the fax was the focus of many HIPAA violation investigations!
Go check your office fax machine. Does it support SSL? If not, are you ready to buy a new one? And how many people use a fax that's hanging off the *handset* end of a wireless phone anyhow? Let's face it - requiring forklift upgrades of every single fax machine in the state to require encryption, to solve a mostly non-existent problem (the sniffing of fax transmissions in transit) is pretty much a non-starter.
