This has nothing to do with medical records.
HIPAA laws are still in effect.
You aren't fully comprehending the possible repercussions and implications of this. It has everything to do with medical records, and other things you might have on the ISP that you thought were private.
I explained a little earlier in a post, that my doctor's office put all his patients lab results, etc. in a "portal" where we go in on line to see them. At the top of the page there is a shield that says "trackers blocked". Yes, it's blocked. Right?
But when I click on it, my ISP service now has that address. Does it have my password? I don't know, and neither do you.
Oh, and I saw your post about the way "to get things done". Complain about it to the ISP's, you say?
Well of course! You wouldn't want to bother Mr. Trump and the Republicans about this little sell out.
Should people complain to doctor's when their health care is taken away?
To the airlines when they can't get into the country?
Of course. No one should bother the high and mighty and strangely demented Mr. Trump with all these little nuisances of the common American.

Google has clarified its email scanning practices in a terms of service update, informing users that incoming and outgoing emails are analysed by automated software.
The revisions explicitly state that Google’s system scans the content of emails stored on Google’s servers as well as those being sent and received by any Google email account, a practice that has seen the search company face criticism from privacy action groups and lawsuits from the education sector.

No, the point is that not vetoing a bill passed by Congress does not mean the country gets a law 'thanks to Trump'.
Another point, perhaps more telling, is that no such complaints were heard before when the same rules were in place. That tells us all we need to know about the motivations of those whining about it now. They will be the same people whining if Trump did continually use veto power a la Roosevelt.

You still don't get it, but that's okay.
Yes, I have signed a hipaa agreement with my doctor's office.
But I haven't signed one with my ISP. Get it?
And please stop talking like you know the ins and outs of all this. You don't. None of us do.
“ISPs will be able to sell your personal information to the highest bidder ... and they won’t have any real obligation to keep your personal information secure, either,” Gigi Sohn, who previously served as counselor to former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, said Monday.
The FCC adopted rules last October that required companies like Comcast and Verizon to get their customers’ explicit permission before they could share “sensitive” data like Social Security numbers, or information pertaining to children or health. Under the rules — which are not yet in effect — companies also had to tell customers and law enforcement if a potentially harmful data breach occurred.
In a heated floor debate on Tuesday, House Republicans sought to paint the rules as an example of government overreach. “These broadband privacy rules are unnecessary,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who introduced the resolution.

Your ISP is not reading your medical records.
They can not read encrypted files that pass through their services.
If your medical portal does not use encryption, that would be absurd.

I think the "medical portal" is part of ACA-Obamacare.
Once upon a time, simply removing a person's name, address and Social Security number from a medical record may well have protected anonymity. Not so today. Straightforward data-mining tools can rummage through multiple databases containing anonymized and nonanonymized data to reidentify the individuals from their ostensibly private medical records.

No, no I am not.
Now let me ask you a question. Since this is not new, is this really about your outrage or the fact that it has a political face?

10 Years ago, anyone talking about it, was looked down upon as wearing a tin foil hat
Well, here we are

“In the physical space, that has rested with the FTC,” she noted. “So if someone were to abridge your online privacy and sell your information without your knowledge, without your consent, that would be something that the regulators would go after. Let’s say if someone starts to wholesale sell your data, and you said, ‘Do not share my data. Do not share my information,’ that’s the kind of effect that it has.”

The bill is fairly meaningless. Say if passes. Big biz probably saves some money on information they were already getting. Should it fail, they will still get the info.
Again, acquiring private information without your consent is not new. I know you want to think it is because it fits your political agenda.
It may or may not be a weak argument, but your words are showing me that your mind is weaker.

All your ISP can see is what page you went to.
Assuming your medical service is using encryption, they are not looking at your medical records.
