I've got this saved and I'll watch it and reply soon, but my kneejerk reaction is "this is someone who probably doesn't actually understand what they're talking about" simply because as someone who is in healthcare IT, I can assure you privacy is taken extremely seriously and I can guarantee medical privacy today is far better than it ever was before.

I rarely give credence to opinions about HIPAA from people who don't spell it correctly.

		Oh, I have typed that acronym thousands of times. Thousands. And I’d be surprised if I got it right 90% of the time. I have just enough dyslexia, I think, to make it very hard to be perfect. So perhaps OP is similar.

"As explained by" someone regurgitating the views of the "Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom", an anti-vax, right-wing organization that opposes HIPAA, Medicare, and government involvement in healthcare in general.
