[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, parents these days have lost their minds.  Millions upon millions upon millions of 18 year olds are going off to college without a hitch.[/quote]
[b]HIPPA laws didn’t create the same need in the 80-90s. It’s not a matter of parents now being overprotective.[/b]  [/quote]

HIPPA has been the law since 1996. Nearly 30 years. You’re over reacting.[/quote]

You do realize that the interpretation and enforcement of laws changes over time?

HIPAA privacy rules weren’t finalized until 2003, and there was almost no enforcement until 2010, when multimillion dollar fines and possible criminal penalties for violations were implemented. Audits and enforcement were further stepped up in 2016.

This is something that doctors have become increasingly serious about over time. It’s very possible that nothing will happen to my kid and I won’t need it. I hope that’s the case. But printing out and signing a document seems to be an easy way to avoid having to scramble around to prove that I’m next of kin in the immediate aftermath of the unthinkable.
