who knows what “HIPPA” stands for ? (no googling it before)
Its a federal statute (United States) governing, among other things, privacy. It prevents sharing of medical records and importantly for families, makes it illegal for a doctor to discuss a child’s medical problems once the child is eighteen (though there is a way around it).
Health information privacy protection act I think. Or maybe patient protection.

Most people pronounce it “Hip-Pa” regardless of its official name or actual acronym.
I knew – I used to work in a hospital.
It stands for:
I’m a Hippopotamus
