Well at least the leaks and irresponsibility have hit the HIPAA level, maybe now some old people will take it seriously? Or will the fallout continue to be normalization of data leaks like the morons in the federal government did for credit reporting agencies?

As with everything in the US, this will be politicized. I wonder which will be the party of “I’m fine with data breaches”

In my view that stance is becoming bipartisan as tech companies lobby nonsense like “we can’t get left behind China’s AI models so give us all the data!”

Democrats and Republicans always think they’re smart by investing in whatever wave of technology. Here we are.

HIPAA data is always talked sternly about. I’m hoping my health worker professional friends can help bring attention to the issue. Who knows if everyone will just roll over.

HIPAA and other medical data protection laws are violated routinely. This could be important or it might be ignored in the face of the broader problem. I wonder if there is an authoritative deep dive on the nature of the UnitedHealthCare breach.
