- Someone1234 4y agoBecause the people often mis-citing HIPAA also know so little about it they don't even know what it stands for. People think it is a magical incarnation, that they can wield in any vaguely relevant discussion. Whereas I'd argue that HIPAA is a very weak law with poor enforcement. It is a "better than nothing" law and nothing more[0]. It isn't some kind of medical data super weapon like people believe.
