HIPAA requires that medical information is to be kept confidential from anybody without the patient's consent. It may be that the administration intends to allow information about the "diagnosed" mental instability of an individual to made available in a background check.

Given the left-wing bias of the APA, it won't be long until everybody is diagnosed with some type of unprovable impairment that would exclude them for lawfully possessing a firearm.

Hippa(crit) has allowed for years that a doctor has to inform the authority of certain things. In MI and PA (that I know of) doctor can tell DMV if their patient admits to heavy alcohol drinking.. And DMV can revoke license.
