Not to mention the health angle requires Apple lock down the device even further to stay HIPPA compliant; to keep from prying eyes. Apple has pit the FDA against the FBI.

Nothing in HIPAA would require Apple to lock down the device in ways that would inhibit the FBI. Those are entirely separate issues. For example, a key escrow scheme (which I don't support) could still be fully HIPAA compliant.
