In most of the cases — 121 of the 210 — the information later used against the women was obtained or disclosed in a medical setting, researchers found.

That's just a disgusting and entirely unethical breach of privacy.

And also a violation of federal law. But that's fine probably.

Don't worry, I'm sure Merrick Garland will get right on that.

this is unacceptable. these doctors should have their license removed. imagine hiring a lawyer and having them tell the police what you told them? theyd be disbarred immeditely.

wonder why isn't this the case here..

Because HIPAA has no protection against the state and never was meant for that. There are no federal privacy protections and no federal right to privacy, medical or otherwise.

Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
