Actually no it is not a violation of the HIPAA to release medical information to the us govt for certain purposes or even the state govt for that matter MD's are required by law to report epilepsy or seizure disorders to DPS for the purpose of drivers licenses. Also the federal and state governments are exempt from the HIPAA provisionsSewTexas wrote:Beiruty wrote:He should get C from NRA.
1) Waiting period is a joke. Does not effect the violent crime or suicides.
2) Sharing info about mentally defective people and deny them through NICS should be the law and it is the law.
3) He should have stated that he is pro-gun, pro 2ndA at both Federal and State level.
4) He should have stated clamp on the criminals, reduce gun theft by toughing out the penalties, and share info about mentally defective people.
Finally, he does not own guns and he is not a gun guy.
here's something I've wondered about before.....
the whole "sharing info about mentally defective people" wouldn't that be against HIPPA?HIPAA, whatever it's initials are. I mean, for example, I can't legally call and get information about my MIL who has Alz and may have forgotten to write something down, but some bureaucrat can decide that a diagnosis means that someone is "mentally defective", tell a gun store salesman that and now everyone in the store knows the man can't buy the gun.
