As We Predicted: State Gubments Collect Private Med Data without Warrants, Make Themselves Some Cash

For years, libertarians have tried to warn people that HIPAA, passed by the feds in the 1990's but not implemented until the so-called "Health Freedom Act" passed, would cause hurdles for private citizens to let their health insurance companies and doctors share medical data. All sorts of paperwork would be required. We were right. We also warned that the law would let the federal and state governments claim the power to seize your medical data. We were right. No warrant. Nothing... Where are all the left-wing statists now? Weren't they the kinds of people who defended privacy? Don't they support the 4th Amendment?
