Nurses aren't regulated by HIPAA, hospitals and medical device companies are and they fight HIPAA all the time. Bankers don't deal with margin requirements...you're thinking of investors. Contractors don't fight building codes because they just work for others, but developers (that hire the contractors) do, as do realtors. Brokers do fight broker licensing all the time, because it restricts what they can profitably sell.
Really, the only example you provided that was correct was that daycares don't fight the safety standards imbued into the day care licensing requirements. (Yes, daycare is a licensed business in most states.)
Generally, regulation is not popular amongst the regulated industry. However, the lack of regulation is far less popular than the fear of unregulated competition in some markets where "startups" try to "disrupt" the status quo by imposing externalities on society rather than absorbing them internally as they would if they adhered to regulations.
This isn't really the point, but nurses are regulated by HIPAA. Everyone who touches patient data is personally liable for the safety of that data and may face civil and/or criminal penalties if a breach occurs.
No, if you're going to make a silly argument you need to be aware that nurses are regulated by their licensing boards.
The HIPAA regulation is literally just a regulation that minimally impacts their handling of patient data, not their professional practice. Their responsibility is literally to follow the data-protection policies set forth by the facilities they work for.
Technically I was once regulated by HIPAA as well...when working for healthcare clients, with respect to patient data.
