To which I turned around and replied, “NO I don’t, I’m perfectly healthy and I am exempt from masks according to the Texas State Order”.
He then got really upset with me and raised his voice at me, threatening to call the “Mask Hotline” to report my violation. 😂 So I told him, “Go ahead dude. They can’t do anything and neither can the Police. I am medically exempt from this mandate, so leave me alone”.
He then told me to “Show me your medical records”. To which I informed him it is a violation of HIPPA and I do not have to produce my medical records for ANYONE.
He got upset again and yelled at me, “I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!”
And I told him, “I could care less if you believe me or not, I am not required to prove anything to you under the protection of Established LAW buddy.”
And this is the point where I pulled out my phone and started recording him. I wish I would have recorded from the beginning! This was an Epic serve of Justice and Law. Here is the code for HIPPA:
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop regulations protecting the privacy and security of certain health information.1 To fulfill this requirement, HHS published what are commonly known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule. The Privacy Rule, or Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, establishes national standards for the protection of certain health information. The Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (the Security Rule) establish a national set of security standards for protecting certain health information that is held or transferred in electronic form. The Security Rule operationalizes the protections contained in the Privacy Rule by addressing the technical and non-technical safeguards that organizations called “covered entities” must put in place to secure individuals’ “electronic protected health information” (e-PHI). Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has responsibility for enforcing the Privacy and Security Rules with voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties.
Thanks for watching!
