I nuked him. Thanks for the tip.
Was he a retread? I thought so.
Don’t know for sure if he was a retread but no doubt he was a troll.
I guess I haven’t been here long enough to spot them. Usually I just skip over their posts, but they are annoying.
Thanks. I’m sure it wasn’t the first time either. Funny how a ‘conservative’ would sign up and spend 98% of his time defending the marxist quisling.
While other agencies may demand your birth certificate and you have to comply if you want your license, HIPAA laws do indeed prevent hospitals from confirming that birth certificate. They can't confirm someone was a patient unless the patient gives explicit permission. It's not the certificate that falls HIPAA, but the fact of being a patient that's "protected health information." HIPAA laws are taken very seriously by hospitals - huge fines and up to a year in jail for violations.

Exactly.
And act like an ahole right from the start...
I wonder if he was this beau??
Mayor Sam Adams-Beau Breedlove scandal shakes up Portland

The answer to that last might be yes. However that has nothing to do with the HIPAA question. HIPAA will not prevent organizations and agencies from asking for your birth certificate and expecting to get it. It will prevent those same organizations from gettin an answer if they ask the hospital you were born at to confirm your birth.
In one instance you (presumably) voluntarily present the certificate. In the other instance the hospital refuses to give out protected health information without your consent.
To clarify the HIPAA law:
The Privacy Rule protects all "individually identifiable health information" held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information "protected health information (PHI)."12 “Individually identifiable health information” is information, including demographic data, that relates to:
* the individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition,
* the provision of health care to the individual, or
* the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual,
and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual.13
So any hospital that releases the fact of birth in that hospital has confirmed health care was provided to that individual, and is liable under the law:
A person who knowingly obtains or discloses individually identifiable health information in violation of HIPAA faces a fine of $50,000 and up to one-year imprisonment.89 The criminal penalties increase to $100,000 and up to five years imprisonment if the wrongful conduct involves false pretenses, and to $250,000 and up to ten years imprisonment if the wrongful conduct involves the intent to sell, transfer, or use individually identifiable health information for commercial advantage, personal gain, or malicious harm. Criminal sanctions will be enforced by the Department of Justice.
It doesn't matter if it was many years ago, or even if the patient involved was dead. It actually can get rather ridiculous, and at the least there should be a statute of limitiations on it, but as far as I know, there isn't.
Heheh
He was as attached to Obama’s posterior as B. Breedlove was to Mayor Adams’.
Death and Transfiguration
Friday, Mar. 05, 1965
Malcolm X had been a pimp, a cocaine addict and a thief. He was an unashamed demagogue. His gospel was hatred: “Your little babies will get polio!” he cried to the “white devils.” His creed was violence: “If ballots won’t work, bullets will.”
Yet even before his bullet-ripped body went to its grave, Malcolm X was being sanctified. Negro leaders called him “brilliant,” said he had recently “moderated” his views, blamed his assassination on “the white power structure” or, in the case of Martin Luther King, on a “society sick enough to express dissent with murder.” Malcolm’s death, they agreed, was a setback to the civil rights movement.
Alias John Doe. In fact, Malcolm X —in life and in death—was a disaster to the civil rights movement.
Malcolm’s murder, almost certainly at the hands of the Black Muslims from whom he had defected, came on a bright Sunday afternoon in full view of 400 Negroes in the Audubon Ballroom, a seedy two-story building on Manhattan’s upper Broadway. Characteristically, he had kept his followers waiting for nearly an hour while he lingered over tea and a banana split at a nearby Harlem restaurant.
Snip
The man who lived as Malcolm X and died as John Doe was born Malcolm Little, in Omaha on May 19, 1925. His father was a Baptist preacher and an enthusiast for Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey’s “Back to Africa” movement. The family moved to Lansing, Mich., where, Malcolm claimed, white racists set fire to his parents’ home in 1929. Two years later, when Malcolm was six, his father was run over by a streetcar, his body cut almost in half. Police called it an accident, but Malcolm insisted that his father had been bludgeoned by whites and placed across the tracks. Soon afterward his mother was committed to a mental asylum in Michigan.
In his youth, Malcolm prided himself on his reddish hair and light skin, an inheritance from his maternal grandfather, a white man. Years later he wrote in his autobiography: “I was for years insane enough to feel that it was some kind of status symbol to be light-complexioned. Now I hate every drop of that white rapist’s blood that is in me.”
He quit school after the eighth grade, eventually made his way to New York. Nicknamed “Big Red,” he was a gangling zoot-suiter who fancied yellow-toed shoes and straightened his hair with lye in a scalp-searing process called “conking.” He worked briefly as a waiter at Small’s Paradise, still one of Harlem’s top nightspots. But an honest dollar was not for Malcolm Little. He was caught pimping on the side and fired. He thereupon turned himself into a full-time hustler whose specialties were fixing up white men with Negro whores and Negro men with white whores. He peddled marijuana, became a cocaine addict and, to satisfy his $20-a-day craving, took to burglary. In 1946 he wound up with a ten-year prison sentence in Boston.
Bleached-Out. At the gloomy state prison in Charlestown, Malcolm copied a dictionary from A to Z. He wanted to improve his vocabulary, and he did. He was to become a spellbinding speaker.
More important, he learned in prison about the Black Muslims, an extremist sect founded in Detroit in 1930 by a shadowy peddler named W. D. Fard, and ruled since Fard’s mysterious disappearance in 1934 by Elijah Muhammad. The Muslims offered Malcolm what Marcus Garvey had offered his father—and then some. They had caparisoned their movement with the trappings of religion, along with a mythology holding that the first human beings were Negroes. Other races—red, yellow and white—resulted only after a wicked and long-lived scientist named Yacub succeeded over many generations of genetic experiments in achieving a “bleached-out white race of people.” ...

I forgot about that picture Polarik! Man, I take that back, they do look alike!
To say that this is an uphill battle would be a huge understatement.
Thanks for providing this.

I agree with you. And I’m completely shocked at some that have tucked tail.

Whether it is or not, I’ve said the fonts don’t match back in the summer. I’m not a parody.
