I am older than Obama and the not so large, somewhat out of the way hospital where I was born has documentation of my mother’s admission and my arrival there.
It’s also *gasp* on my birth certificate (but I guess that’s confidential HIPPA info, right?...guess birth certificates that document what hospital a person was born in, has been against the law all the years! Wow. Who knew?)
Drop your red herring minutia.
Ok, lets go over this again. Hospitals and “covered facilities” may not release medical data, including the fact that someone was a patient, except in specified exceptions.
State or county birth certificates don’t come from a hospital or covered facility, and are therefore are not under HIPAA. With me so far?
This means that state or county birth certificates are regulated by state laws, as in Hawaii’s §338-18.
Your hospital may retain documentation, but it’s rare for hospitals to hold onto records for 50 years. They will maintain records longer if they continue to treat the patient for all that time, but otherwise, it’s unusual. Consider yourself lucky your hospital still has those records.
Most excellent evidence.
Your hospital in unnamed location has 50+ year old admission records available.
Not particularly relevant evidence, of course.
Do you have anything vaguely resembling evidence that such information is available for anyone from the hospital where it is claimed Obama was born?
Odingo doesn’t have anything.
