    You know a lot about some things, and nothing about others. Maybe you should refrain from commenting on those? HIPAA (NOT HIPPA) laws are binding on covered entities. People asking questions are not covered entities. As for unethical, well, I think presidential candidates are asked about a lot of things. They don't have to answer (as McCain has chosen not reveal his psychiatric history).

    Ad long as some healthcare provider is not releasing his records without his permission HIPAA has nothing to do with it.

    Not that I've noticed ignorance, lack of something to say, or anything else keeps you from commenting...endlessly...on every single story.
