So, what medical school did Bailey attend? If we're going to play this game, Bailey's and his entire immediate family's medical records should be available to the public as well.

It’d be neat if there was a set of lawyers that that could oversee things in the 50 disparate states. Maybe like a whole department of them. Call it Justice Department or something. I dunno; just spitballin, here…

It's so strange to "like" a post like this. I realize I'm liking it for the information, but it just feels weird.

I also hope PP has the courage to tell them to go pound sand as ALL of those medical records are covered under HIPAA.

It’s also unlawful. Having billed insurance for a hospital for 25 years I can assure ALL medical records except for those needed to verify payment treatment or operations for insurance payment purposes are covered under HIPAA and this blatant violation of federal law should not be taken lightly. WTF

Americans make a great deal about their 'rights'. When it comes down to it their rights are in the hands of some old white guy.

And IDK where this judge gets off because Missouri state law can't supersede HIPPA. It's going to get stayed and slapped down hard by the federal courts.

I suggest people try reading the article linked in the OP before reacting to the headline. It's quite informative. Or even read up-thread a bit, since other posters have summarized some of the more important points in it.

This is bad, but I'm not sure it's quite that bad, yet. The court's order's clear that it doesn't (and, legally, can't) preempt federal law that applies (in this case, HIPAA), and HIPAA covers anything that could link care to an individual, including billing records.

So dumb. Do you know how hard it is to get kids to take meds? No one is taking puberty blockers unbeknownst to their parents. My tweens gripe about taking cough meds. And it's not like they're out there filling prescriptions without me.
