Does the military have acess to your medical records?
DaveH asked:
When you join the military, can they legally access your civilian medical records with your signature, or do the HIPAA laws prevent them from doing so?

Yes they can pretty much access anything on you once you join. The concept is there just be nothing in records on you that need to be a secret to the military. You give up certain civilian rights where HIPAA wouldn’t apply there.
