Isn't any lawsuit filed under the new Texas law almost always a violation of HIPAA?

Make the HIPAA statute really punish those who file the Texas actions with fines and jail time. If they are felonies the right to own firearms is forfeited. Make them PAY!

1. It's HIPAA, and it applies only to health care providers and insurers.

4. Hippa doesn't block lawsuits

In fact it doesn't restrict people either except for medical providers and insurers.

Hippa might be the second most misunderstood law behind ACA.

5. It's also HIPAA, not HIPPA.

6. Yes. I dropped an A

7. Maybe not HIPPA but certainly it's vulnerable under evidentiary rules.

In civil suits it needs to be proven by a, "preponderance of the evidence." How can anyone prove an abortion happened let alone that it happened after a heartbeat has been heard? Outside the people in that room at that point in time, who really will be able to prove the allegations? The doc's not gonna do it, nor will staff because they would be liable too...

9. My thoughts as well. How would they be able to prove an "unlawful abortion" occurred without

Access to medical record? Other than that, it would have to be hearsay.
