So true! If you want your loved ones to be able to see your medical records or talk with your medical providers, it takes a legal form. If you don’t mind them making decisions for you when you aren’t able, give them a health care power-of-attorney.
At least some doctors are now including a form with their pile of “new patient” forms, where you can list the people they are allowed to talk with regarding your health.

Oh, and we can’t mail or fax you a copy of your own records.
