The point of HIPPA was to take power away from the individual and give it to government and business.

In retrospect you have a point there

“The point of HIPPA was to take power away from the individual and give it to government and business”

I work in health insurance. Hipaa gave individuals more power and protections. Hipaa took power away from business.

For instance, under Hipaa companies can no longer see their employees health history or their claims which could cause a high utilizer employee of health insurance to be let go (for other reasons of course ha ha )

Health insurance companies can now only show the groups total claims each month to employers and not what each employee used as they did in the past.

Under Hipaa individuals can no longer be denied coverage due to preexisting conditions or health history.

I could go on.

The point of HIPPA [etc., etc.]

You don't mean the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act, or HIPAA, do you? But you holding forth and pontificating on the "point of HIPPA," whatever that may be, is far more entertaining, so thanks for that at least.
