How does HIPAA impact this?
It doesn’t.
HIPAA always was toothless. Without a private right of action, you can’t do anything with HIPAA.
The mandates are unAmerican and should be opposed, but HIPAA isn’t a savior here.
Ignored.
“How does HIPAA impact this?”
The entire time I was in public school, my student number was my social security number. At every opportunity I pointed out it was illegal to use my SS for any kind of identification. That was specifically forbidden in the SS legislation. Women at the desk just looked at me with that dumb, don’t-give-a-#$$ look. (Yeah, I was THAT student.)
In order for any law to work, someone has to enforce it. As an individual there’s no hope of getting any relief. Probably, any judge would dismiss the case for “lack of standing.”
No ordinary person has the money to take on a fight like this.
If no shirt, no shoes means "no service"...this is just a different category.
