HIPPA stands for Health Information Privacy and Portability Act
HIPPA basically says that your health information can't be shared with anyone without your written consent or permission (except in the case of a court order). HIPPA also gives you the right to get copies of your medical records from your doctor.
The only context I have heard "hippa" used was mistakenly for the HIPAA regulations in the US, which stand for, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This regulation basically gave employees privacy rights with the uses and disclosures of their health care information.

I need to know what are the disadvantages of Hippa? What are the advantages of Hippa?
HIPPA
HIPPA is the health insurance portability and protection act. Basically, if you change or lose your job, your health insurance plan is protected by HIPPA. You also do not need to explain pre-existing health issues to a new employer under HIPPA. That is the portability function of the act. Obviously, you have patient rights and HIPPA will cover them while you are in between jobs.
