      This is not a violation of HIPAA, which only applies to doctors, nurses, hospitals/clinics, pharmacies, health insurance, etc. Greene doesn't have to answer, but to use the claim that asking the question is a violation of HIPAA as an excuse reveals the depths of her ignorance.https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1417592852759007236 …

      Do reporters know this? I hope so. Because they should have a line like my Tweet above ready any time a politician or anyone tries to use HIPAA as an excuse not to answer this particular question.

          Yes, someone like Greene can refuse to answer the question, but reporters shouldn't let her hide behind the lie that the question itself violates HIPAA. It does not.

          I bet most reporters know that there are no illegal questions under the sun.

          That's what I was going to suggest. Reporters need to call people on their inaccurate claims. I'm going to guess that Greene does know she's wrong, but doesn't care because it is part of her agenda.

          Reporters need to not take the bait on blatant distractions.

          They do not. A prominent film producer tried to use this argument with me yesterday. I always use the entire name in reply to this argument: “What does the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act have to do with this? I am neither a doctor or insurance provider.”

          It doesn’t violate hippa but it violates her right to privacy... should she then ask the reporter if he/she has ever been under psychiatric care?
