    Weren’t Republicans crying about HIPAA (fixed spelling, thanks!) and shit earlier when asked if they got vaccinations? You guys actually care about sensitive patient health data or what’s up?

      In conservland, we employ double-think. HIPPA is good. HIPPA is bad. See? It’s easy!

      Watch, I’ll do it again just so you have a good understanding of the technique. The Jews are ruining everything. Isreal can do no wrong. Bam!

        Actually this is a great time to talk about HIPAA, but what isn’t a great time to talk about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act?

        The important thing for Americans to know is this law says they can’t share your information without your express consent, and they have to give you your records in a timely manner when you ask for them.

        So if you go to your doctor’s office and ask for all your records, including test results and scans, they have to provide them.

        If they share your data without your consent (read those documents carefully who gets it), they have to start dancing to avoid jail time.

        Rules for thee, not for me.

        This is all about controlling the wimminz out there, most especially any of them with any notion of thinking they are going to be promiscuous and not have to deal with the consequences! Some of the biggest proponents of this, ironically, are other women. Because of something something “bible” and something something “babies”.

        As for vaccinations, that so-called “concern” was all about cons being able to do whatever the fuck they want, regardless of how much they are superspreaders, because fuck you is why, they can do whatever the hell they want, because “freedom”… Also, they had deep concern over what was being done to Ronald McDonald’s chances of re-election, as well as “his” economic numbers.
