This has to be one of the most impressive war stories I've ever read. Thanks for writing this all out!

But as others have said, you need to get yourself out of that company ASAP and hire your own lawyer to figure out what your own potential liabilities are. I'm not in the US and am not familiar with the details of HIPAA, but just based on what you've written I really don't think it's a good idea to stick around a place like that particularly given you know exactly what's going on. Even if you don't end up with any liabilities/troubles from what has transpired to date, it seems inevitable that something will happen eventually that will end spectacularly badly for everyone involved.

I understand the money is good, but I would seriously recommend finding another employer with a bit more knowledge of and respect for the law.
