Thie Democrats want to protect their (illegal) voters by employing the protections provided under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

The fight will turn on what is protected health information under HIPAA. Currently, HIPAA sets forth 18 individual identifiers that are protected including name, address, phone number, email address, Social Security Number etc.

However, there are numerous exceptions where this protected information can be released, such as law enforcement and national security.

Id say fraud is a good enough crime. Good luck with the lawsuits. More Ls for the left incoming.

(((YAWN))) It’s way past time for LOSERS PAY. These so-called “states” are becoming real pains in the butt trying to find money to pay their bills. Deadbeat piggies.

Seems like precedence was set that the government can get access to that data when Rush was forced to turn over his medical records.

“it has created a culture of fear that will lead to fewer people seeking vital emergency medical care”

If they aren’t illegals, what is there to fear? Fewer illegals crowding up ERs help the rest of us anyway.

Fraud should never be protected by health privacy laws.

“A coalition of 20 Democratic attorneys general “

If this is legit, then why are ALL of these states run by DEMOCRATS?

“its decision to illegally share sensitive, personal health data with ICE.”

“illegally” ? What court has determined that? Has the Supreme Court ruled on it?

Nope - HIPAA does NOT protect criminal activity. It’s right there in the legalese that the government can access the information at ANY TIME for investigative purposes.

The Dems have done this themselves when going after conservatives.

“Sensitive, personal health data”?

Who thinks their name, address, phone#, SS#, are health related?

“”” “The Trump Administration has upended longstanding privacy protections with its decision to illegally share sensitive, personal health data with ICE. In doing so, it has created a culture of fear that will lead to fewer people seeking vital emergency medical care,”””


Where will the cartel gang members go to patch up their gunshot wounds after engaging in a turf war?

45 CFR § 164.514(b), that’s who.

It’s not like MEDICAID is funded by OUR Federal Tax Dollars...

1,500,000(1.5 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS) are on MEDICAID!

Social Security is rife with WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE.

QUIT thinking the programs are going broke!

They are going broke because that's what Ponzi financial structures do! To claim otherwise is willful ignorance. With fraud financial collapse is much faster.
