Isn't asking for personal medical information a violation of HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge.

edit: OK, so I looked it up and no it is not. That basically only applies to medical personnel and associated businesses.

Yep, i looked up the HIPAA stuff, too.

And so it begins. This was not imposed by gummint functionaries. This is a regular person, a non-politico, "sorting out" those who enter his business. He has the right, but it just goes to prove we have met the enemy and he is US. Stay tuned.

His Holy Spirit told me about people being "sorted out" some months ago. Now we are seeing all the permutations of this. Oh, and He also said that EVERYONE will be sorted without ANY exceptions. I thought that this just applied to believers and non-believers. Looks like it is going to apply in a number of ways. I reckon i had better look at that word He gave me again.

We all are just seeing the handwriting on the wall. Have we been measured and found wanting??
