I'm guessing the whole purpose of HIPPA was to criminalize "outing" of people who are HIV+, or the rehab status of celebrities, by people who saw their medical info. The government never intended it to be a barrier to their own power.
Now you know why ObamaCare wants all medical records in a database.
And people who have abortions of course have a right to privacy, isn’t that the whole basis of Roe v Wade?
