Because they've only ever heard it pronounced, Hippa. They know is is an acronym, so they probably capitalize it. But they hear hippa, so they type HIPPA.
Healthcare workers see it written all the time, though, so they should know the correct usage. Laypeople get a pass, I suppose. Maybe.

Yes, because it's simply impossible that they actually READ once in a while and actually see the acronym spelled correctly, or the whole term spelled out.

However, if these laypeople are going to post online repeatedly about how gossiping about a neighbor's medical condition is "violating HIPPA laws" they should at least first learn something about what they're talking about.

I am guilty of not reading stuff right. So I assume others do same.
My daughter brought home a tres leches cake tonight and we wanted to eat it right after dinner but it was frozen solid. So we had to choose - do we want to eat frozen cake right away, or wait?
So I got an Amazon Tap as a reward at work. It is the Echo' portable cousin. It has a speaker, and much of the Exho functionality. Except that it is not always listening. You have to hit the button to talk to it.
Here is the problem. I have a Sonos Play. I can control it from my phone or iPad or computer. But it isn't portable. It is statically located in my apartment. I also have a mini jam is. It is portable, but I have to control it from my phone. Not combine it. If I move it to the bathroom for my shower and I want to change to playlist.
Now the Tap is not like the Echo, so I have to hit to button to change tell it to change the playlist or skip to the next song. And the phone app doesn't let you launch any controls. So if I put it on my desk or anywhere else in my apartment, I have to walk over and tell it to do something.
So maybe I can put it in the bathroom, but I'd have to decide the music before I get in the shower, because I won't be able to hit the button and talk to it. And my bathroom is dysfunctional and only has one inconvenient plug. So I'll have to leave the charger on my desk,and walk it back and forth. And the Sonos already provides sound for,that section.
So I have no idea what I will do,with this Tap. Keep,it in the bathroom and live with the limitations. Put it in the kitchen and find recipe plugins and let it read me my kindle books? Decisions decisions.
I ordered some essential oils - my husband calls them voodoo, but that's beside the point. Personally, I think they work for a lot of things.
The frankincense was expensive, and I didn't like the way it smelled anyway, but it's good to mix with some other oils for various potions, so I was mixing up my mojo in the bathroom and I knocked over the frankincense, which spilled down the sink immediately.
When I tried to catch it, it got all over my hands - so now they sort of stink. And my bathroom REEKS of frankincense.
But I have none in the bottle - it's just permeated everything else. Plus I literally poured money down the drain, which wasn't very gratifying, so I hope I don't do that again.
Now - do I reorder it? I wonder, does one HAVE to have frankincense to mix with other oils? I mean, will I live a quality life without it? I was living a quality life before I bought it, but now I think that things could be better with it in my life and in my oil blends.

And yet, it sort of stinks.
Decisions, decisions.
Have you considered Myrrh and gold leaf in addition to more frankincense to increase your quality of life? All I know is that after that trip to the dollar store, it won't help my quality a bit. BTW ... doesn't that frankincense cut down on the amount of air freshener needed after certain bathroom visits?
