Seems to me there are constitutional questions here? But then we will follow Ryan and McConnell and do nothing. In fact , we will fund it!!
All this will do is keep the people who actually need help from seeking it. Your health information isn’t private if anyone in the govt knows.
That'll be the next EO.
The purpose of HIPAA is NOT to protect your medical records. Its to CONTROL your medical records.
Its also to control healthcare providers by using reimbursements (aka money) as a lever.
> Hope no one has any crazy relatives
There are heritable elements to mental illness, so anyone that’s ever had a crazy aunt or uncle then has a condition sufficient to bar them from possessing guns.
All Conservatives will be accused of Psikhushka, The official explanation was that no sane person would be against socialism.
“Come along with us,
let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul,
Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit,
We will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder”
-Proverbs 1:11-13 (and possibly the plaque hanging in the lobby of the DNC)
See ya in the asylum. Hope we like the taste of Thorazine.
The one real problem is companies, including hospitals, would not spend the money to protect your data without a law forcing them too.
I work with them every day. Very little money is spent because “its the right thing to do”.
HIPAA does not offer the privacy protection that may think it does.
Your Healthcare data is sold and shared among 8000+ entities.
Data brokers, insurers and providers make $2+ Billion dollars per year trading what they know about you and your loved ones.

 Flows not covered by HIPAA are in bold.
Of the hundreds of flows of personal health data documented on thedatamap, only half are actually covered by the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA governs the sharing of personal health information in the United States, but only applies to those entities involved in the direct billing of patient care. So, HIPAA covers some of the data flows from physicians and hospitals, but not all. A noteworthy exception is Discharge Data, which is authorized by state laws. Hospitals and physicians send a copy of each visit to the state and the state, in turn, often shares the data in ways less protective than HIPAA warrants.

Whats more important to you personally and to the country? Winning with a remotely principled conservative or winning with a guy that BBQs the dismsmbered remains of the babies his abortion laws killed?
Because if all you Romney voters would have stopped making excuses and supported/voted for anyone whose name wasn’t Romney, they’d be president today.

... very soon to be expanded to “any patient on Class I through V meds” can’t own a gun...
just wait.
How would that be different from what we’ve got today?
Can someone please explain to me how the president of the United States can shield individual doctors from civil suits arising from unauthorized HIPAA disclosures?
Or is this just make work for lawyers?
He won’t need to.
The VA has already attempted to confiscate some poor vet’s guns because he could no longer balance his checkbook. Their agents were met at the vet’s house by angry citizens and they prudently retreated (”Take his guns? Naw, naw, we don’t have that authority. Have a nice day!”)
Once again, was a principled conservative running?
Obama would never submit to a background check. He can’t even pass E-Verify.
