Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hey! Cybersecurity professional here who also deals with HIPAA regularly. Two things -
Thanks for spelling HIPAA correctly, so many people get it wrong.
Yes, HIPAA covers you for 50 years after you die, so you still have the same protections in place as if you were living for that long after you kick the bucket.
So in other words, the GOP will admit Mitch McConnell is dead in 2076.
Mitch for president 2029 😨
I'd take a bloated corpse over the bloated turd we have today.
they're both bloated corpses. one just emits a great deal more hot air.
No, they would not tell the truth.
Actually, next January.
If they don't cover you for 50 years after your death then I guess you have grounds to file a lawsuit.
Always go to other people’s funerals; otherwise they won’t go to yours.
now I wonder what interesting person died 50 years ago so I can snoop on their private medical files.
I always confuse what the HIP stands for, but always remember the last two are "Accountability Act" so "AA" at the end is easy to remember.
It's Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, for others curious.
And yes, that's a great way to remember it. Especially so because that's where many typically get it wrong. I see it called HIPPA all the time.
Hungry Hungry HIPPAs
Always cool when someone with material knowledge can chime in, thanks for explaining! ☺️❤️
It looks like death certificates have a similar 50 year privacy period in Kentucky.
Are those not public records?
Excuse me but its speled HIPPO smafh
