You can try suing anyone for anything. The correct question is "will a judge immediately reject and dismiss the suit".
You have no chance with a suit based on the employer disclosing your med info to an insurance company, to your spouse, to the Worker Comp agency, to the company's doctor, to your supervisor, or in response to a subpoena.
If the employer discloses med info to the public or to your coworkers, your suit will survive IF yo can show actual damages. No clear dollar damages, no verdict.

If a person was fired for a positive drug test can that employer disclose to potential employers what drug they tested positive for?
"Actually they could but you have the rights to mark "NO" when application ask to contact previous employee.OR: Since drug use is considered a medical issue, they cannot disclose this information legally"WRONG! A PREVIOUS EMPLOYER ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT TELL ANY PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS ANYTHING AT ALL OTHER THAN TO CONFIRM THAT YOU DID IN FACT WORK THERE AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD HIRE YOU AGAIN. Any disclosure of further information what so ever is a violation of your right to privacy. If they did disclose any sort of negative information to a prospective employer you absolutely have the right to sue. And if their mistake cost you that job, then you could, feasibly, sue them for lost wages, defamation of character, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and you could, possibly, get some punitive damages too.
