@TheConversationUK why did anyone need a study to discover that "#LongCovid can stop people doing what they want and need to do"? Ah wait, of course, that would be because #patients have no voice and no one cares about what they have to say. Let's mansplain their experience instead and get them to read about it.

"This new rule actively undermines Congress's clear statutory meaning when #HIPAA was passed, & it reflects the Biden administration's disrespect for the #law," #Texas AG #KenPaxton [& general POS] said.
#HHS …said in a stmnt that the rule "stands on its own - #women should be able to access #legal #ReproductiveHealthcare w/o their #medical records being used to track them or their doctors for liability."#ReproductiveRights #abortion #AbortionIsHealthcare #WomensRights #privacy #PatientsRights

Both rules were issued by the U.S. Department of #Health &Human Services under the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (#HIPAA), the federal #law on patient #privacy. #Texas claims that #HHS went beyond its authority under HIPAA in passing both rules, because the law preserves states' authority to conduct investigations [witch hunts].

Isn't it illegal to send bills to a collection agency if the patient has #Medicare and #Medicaid? I'm pretty sure I've read that in several places. #TennCare #PatientsRights #SurpriseMedicalBilling

@mtsw @MadMadMadMadRN Check tort reform that limits pay outs for medical malpractice to $250k in many states unless wrongful death can be proven. Hint: misdiagnosed cancer isn’t considered wrongful death in #kansas if the cancer would’ve been terminal anyway.
