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 …

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.

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.

"Congresswoman, do you, an elected lawmaker, actually know the contents of HIPAA, a law?" "Of course!" "What does HIPAA stand for, then?" "..."

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?
