Scratching my head a bit because HIPAA DOES apply to "heathcare clearinghouses"* and "business associates of covered entities" - both categories which sound like they should apply to the data brokers.
Should absolutely be looked at by DOJ and if not criminal and there is a loophole being exploited it needs to be fixed by Congress. This is obviously not right.

* HIPAA defines 'Healthcare clearinghouses' as organizations that process nonstandard health information and convert data into types that conform to the standards outlined in the HIPAA administrative simplification regulations"

Want a real spin, sir?
I was an up-to-date dues-paying member of LIUNA (Laborers International Union of North America), Local 512 (Orlando), when the VA issued me the oxygen therapy that Marion County Board Of County Commissioners used, via their Human Resources Director, to "Medically Terminate" me.
Want to know the Union's take?
"It's a HIPPA issue."
My Justice? Even the EEOC refused to exonerate the MCBCC, HR, nor any of the elected and their bureaucrats.
