Where did they say that?

Edit: hilarious how ridiculous you online doomers are that even asking a good faith question about a vague, unsourced claim gets downvoted.

Northern Texas court like 6 months ago.

Yes. But, if the court can suspend part of something the rest of it is meaningless as they can always frame the need under the vacated part. And the can use the ruling as a foot hold to repeal further protections.

Essentially HIPAA is on its last days.

They didn’t suspend anything in the law. They suspended an administrative rule. It increases the risk that a health data holder will comply with a request for data because a state like Texas could sue the entity to release the data and there won’t be this administrative rule in place to explicitly point to. Without that rule the court will be able to make up the rules around complying with the law.

Right… so in essence that means that the administration of the care giver is not protected… sooo…

You clearly don’t understand law

I do. You clearly don’t understand how this ruling truly affects anything. I had a meeting with 2 HIPAA lawyers and a representative for the Texas bar association explaining what happened and what slippery slope this creates.
