      HIPAA actually has a lot more to do with protecting healthcare companies’ “right” and ability to collect and sell our information to other companies than it does with limiting the sharing of our information. Really, it only protects our information from random strangers (i.e. nurses showing your face in their TikTok videos) and family.
