Just tell them you are a hemophiliac, drug using, homosexual who frequents public baths. But you don’t smoke (exept for weed) or own any guns.
We could have told them this 5 years ago when this s guy who said there were 57 states got elected to be in charge of them he’s not in it to take care of us
The fourth amendment is there for us not just a bunch of people who lived 200 years ago
Anyone who is okay with domestic spying is pretending these people have the slightest intention of protecting us instead of continuing Benghazi type defense department, are not fully logical
I received a ‘survey questionnaire’ from CMS about 3 weeks ago. Much of the survey was personal questions such as ‘do you ever feel depressed?’. I fed the survey to the shredder. Last week I received a follow up postcard from CMS asking why I had not returned the survey. Seems like CMS is rather determined to get personal information. As I understand it CMS is just the agent for Medicare.
The pretext of this is to ensure good medical care. But it is nothing more than a need by the government to continue its social engineering efforts. It is an abomination under the Constitution.
A take off of the requirement that doctors ask your children if you have a gun in your home. This is un-American.
Those surveys are very intrusive. I’ve received a couple. And followed your protocol :) FUCMS
After an overnight hospital stay for lightheadedness and gerd, I had to throw out a doctor who came in and pulled up a chair and then proceeded to ask me questions like how was my home life, my relationship with my husband, do I feel depressed or overwhelmed, etc. The questions were then aaked again in a slightly different manner. I told her it was basically none of her business and that I was aware what the questions were in response to. I laugh every time Giant Eagle asks if I was a copy of the HIPPA policy.
In particular, the questionnaire should ask if the tax-funded "Navigator" program intends to transfer personal/ financial/medical data of the insured to the local/county/national Democrat Party, relevant Unions, banks, investment companies, drug companies, insurance companies. Trial Lawyers' associations and whether "Navigators" have sub rosa contracts with these, and other groups, to provide significant info to enrich databases for pecuniary purposes.
REFERENCE A West Virginia nonprofit has turned down a federal grant it received to help residents navigate new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act after it received an inquiry from Attorney General Patrick Morrisey about how it would protect consumer information. Clarksburg-based West Virginia Parent Training Inc. did not respond to a letter it received from Morrisey directing it to answer 26 questions about the group's personnel and hiring practices, including employee background checks and employee monitoring programs, the Sunday Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/17M1QVe) reported.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD WILL HAVE ACCESS TO SS#, TAX, MEDICAL INFORMATION
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 8/23/2013 | William Bigelow / FR Posted by markomalley
EXCERPT Planned Parenthood is about to obtain access to your Social Security number, tax form, bank account, and medical records.
With the advent of ObamaCare, consumers buying health insurance through health care exchanges will be required to speak to “navigators.” “Navigators” are supposed to help consumers find the best coverage and ascertain whether they are eligible for a federal subsidy.
Any “navigator” will have access to the federal data hub, which holds information from the Department of Health and Human Services, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Defense Department, the Office of Personnel Management, the Veterans Health Administration, and the Peace Corps.
Planned Parenthood received $655,000 from the Obama administration to hire navigators. In Iowa, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland received $214,427; in Montana, Intermountain Planned Parenthood, Inc. got $295,604; and in New Hampshire, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England raked in $145,161.
And there is not much scrutiny over who these “navigators” will be; HHS will not require background checks or fingerprinting, and a previous criminal conviction, even if it was for identity theft , will not trigger a rejection. To make matters worse, the administration has cut the new employees’ training from 30 hours to 20 and reduced screening.
"Such is the case that involves the OK lawsuit."
“The court rejected the federal government’s argument that Oklahoma lacked standing to challenge the law, allowing us to proceed with this pivotal case,” “We’re optimistic the court will recognize what states have known for months that the IRS disregarded the law by making the large employer mandate effective in Oklahoma or in any of the 33 other states without a state health care exchange.”
REFERENCE Oklahoma challenged implementation of the Affordable Care Act after the IRS finalized a rule that would allow the federal government to punish “large employers,” including local government, with millions of dollars in tax penalties in states without state health care exchanges, which is not allowed under the health care law.
“Congress provided a choice for Oklahoma and other states in implementation of the health care law, and the IRS is attempting to take that away by rule,” General Pruitt said. “The administration miscalculated how many states would support this law, so now they’re using the IRS to push through provisions that Congress did not pass.”
“medicare” is the commonly used name of the program
CMS is the name of the actual governemnt agency that administers CMS. they do that thru a small number of “contractors” who are private companies that actually pay and administer all the Medicare claims and regs. the US is divided up into regions, i think there are less than 10, and each private company has an exclusive area to administer. her is the website of one such private Medicare administrator, there are others.

Right.
The provision of good medical care in this country depends upon having doctors.
The only question one should have is, how does this program provide access to doctors.
this program drives doctors out of their profession, and in great number. The proponents of this program has nothing to say about that.
That’s all anyone needs to know about how it intends to provide health care.
Go to a private doctor, who does not use electronic records, and of course, don’t use credit cards, debit cards or checks etc.
In order to legally practice, a doctor does have to keep a medical record, and the state medical board can access your records w/o your consent if there is a complaint or investigation. Otherwise, the only way for near secrecy is to go abroad.
Don’t think you have anything to hide? Well, just about any medical condition could be used by the Feds or some states as a pretext to take away your firearms and break into your home. This is the way they do it in all communist countries.
Agreed. This is the start of the blackmail machine that will be used against any “common person” who chooses to challenge the ruling elite.
If the DOD cant ensure the security of our defense secrets, what does that mean for our private health info?
Once the government -or anyone else- is paying for your healthcare, they have the right to gather information and demand any changes they want in you lifestyle as a condition of ongoing payment.
Spread to society as a whole, they have the right to demand any societal changes that they say will improve the general health - foods, environment, obesity, guns, recreational choices, etc etc etc
etc
The seduction our society fell for was allowing our federal government to ever pay for anyone’s healthcare. It started with Medicare, and when that was proposed the doctors were clear that it would eventually lead to the loss of our great healthcare system. They were less vocal about the loss of freedoms and privacy, and I think that was because they never believed it could happen here. It has. For the children, for our own sakes, to keep expenses down for the taxpayer - people fell for it all. It was done by design, and now we are living in a totalitarian state until such time as we rediscover the gumption and courage to put an end to it.
If you say you are depressed, your guns will be confiscated.
““social and behavioral” data “ — such as visiting and posting FR will be declared a “disease” to be “cured”.
Where else do you think this is going...
On you next doctor’s visit, they may ask you what website you are visiting and whether you are member of such organizations like the Tea Party...
And this is not a question of “if” or even “when”, it’s more like they are already doing it ASAP.
“According to a solicitation posted by the Department of Health and Human Services on Sept. 4, the CMS is commissioning the National Academy of Sciences to study how best to add social and behavioral factors to electronic health record reporting.
The agency said adding social and behavioral data to patients’ online records will improve health care.
....
A spokeswoman for the National Academy of Sciences told the Free Beacon that the study began on July 15.
Working with the Institute of Medicine, a committee is currently drafting suggestions for collecting social and behavioral data.
The committee will “identify core social and behavioral domains to be included in all EHRs,” the organization said.”
Or have had bad dreams, especially if a veteran. Soon, they will make “-isms” mental illnesses - any and all political, religious or social beliefs that do not conform to what leftists consider normal will be considered mentally ill. We are teetering on a cliff. I shudder to think what it will be like in a generation or two.
