Wow, that's a gaping privacy loophole.

[dekhn]

HIPAA was never a law about privacy of medical data. It's a law that governs the management of medical data, with very limited protections for privacy. I think most people misunderstand that law, its purpose, and its implications.

The P in HIPAA stands for "Portability," not "Privacy."

Sure, but privacy has been a design consideration of HIPAA since 2003.

HIPPA is the Privacy act ;)
