If the official medical condition of the president was disclosed to the VP while sharing it with others without consent may be inappropriate. It’s not a HIPAA violation.
Furthermore, the idea seemed more about being up close to the president. She could see for herself if he had cognitive issues or not. She didn’t have to wait for the disastrous debate performance and post-debate interviews to know that. One must not be medically trained to see that, nor should disclosing this by the VP be a HIPAA violation.
That said, there are numerous other reasons why you may decide against questioning the VP about this.
Many are concerned about the president’s cognitive abilities and ability to function in the capacity of the president. After being exposed to the public, these concerns are not without merit.
