The HIPAA Privacy regulations require health care providers and organizations, as well as their business associates, to develop and follow procedures that ensure the confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI) when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared. This applies to all forms of PHI, including paper, oral, and electronic, etc. Furthermore, only the minimum health information necessary to conduct business is to be used or shared.
The disclosure is in the best interests of the individual as determined by the covered entity, in the exercise of professional judgment.
HIPPA treatment on the location or medical information released to law enforcement.
All they need is a CDC (federal or state equivalent) guideline and bam: authority gets whatever it wants. It's in your best interest to just deal with it, citizen. (/s)
I really don't know how to feel about this. On the surface, I don't believe that contact tracing is constitutional. On the other hand, someone recently reminded me that this is exactly what they do when someone tests positive for HIV... so... thoughts?
You fell into a trap, bud. You start with rare and utilitarian purposes that make sense, wait a handful of years for people to relax, then generalize the practice.
Of course they only did it in unusual cases at first. Now they are talking about nationwide contact tracing including a national immunity registry. Both ideas are no longer unusual under the law.
What they are still sliding the Overton window about is the national id. We already have REAL ID. We'll start with carrying your vaccination cards to get into bars and sporting events. State licensing agencies will add it to your REAL ID as a convenience in a few years. By then it won't be unusual.
Appreciate your reply. I'm not sure why someone would downvote me (not saying it was you) just for asking for thoughts on something that was troubling me.
I don't downvote anyone I am in a conversation with, and I rarely downvote unless someone is being an obvious troll or overall prick. I suspect some lefty saw the word "constitutional" and reacted. You and I know how much they hate that word.
There is no privacy. Only Control.

HIPAA has nothing to do with the government.
HIPAA has nothing to do with the general public.
HIPAA only relates to care providers and their subcontractors that are in direct contact with patients.
I don't like contract tracing, but let's keep the facts factual.

Not in Michigan. When half wit closed the state, all REAL ID appointments were cancelled, even those scheduled after the initial closure.
It's insanity. That said, trolling the system should be possible and entertaining, similarly to how a German man fooled Google maps with a simulated traffic jam
How does healthcare privacy help anyone steal elections and tax dollars?
They can contact trace my meaty farts straight to ligma.
