HIPAA should burn these companies/organizations. Should.

  And then what? Where does the population go for care? Better to have a track record on long-standing organizations that play whack-a-mole.

    A doubt the penalties for violating HIPPA are going to put any of these out of business. I said 'burn', not 'destroy'.

  HIPAA creates an illusion of trust for medical customers to not question the right of their private information be destroyed. Enforcement comes secondary if rarely at all.

  I don’t believe there are actual penalties prescribed by that law. Note: I have had hipaa training for prior jobs and no penalties were ever discussed

    > I don’t believe there are actual penalties prescribed by that law. There are, in fact, actual penalties. A summary: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/hipaa-violations-enforcement https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/hipaa-violation... And there have been civil and criminal enforcement actions: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/compliance-enforcement/data/enforcement-highlights/index.html https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/compliance-enfor... > Note: I have had hipaa training for prior jobs and no penalties were ever discussed I've had HIPAA training for several jobs stretching back to 2001, and civil and criminal penalties, and the fact that the latter especially were available against individual employees as well as covered entities, were stressed every time.
