Under ObamaCare, Doctor's Visits Will Be Interrogations
By BETSY MCCAUGHEY Posted 09/13/2013 06:18 PM ET
If you think the Obama health law is only for the uninsured and you won't be affected, you're in for a surprise next time you go to the doctor. Be prepared for questions unrelated to why you are seeking medical help — questions that you don't want to answer.
Whether you're at the dermatologist or the cardiologist, you'll likely be asked: "Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?"
Doctors are being turned into government agents, pressured financially to ask questions they consider inappropriate and unnecessary, and to violate their Hippocratic Oath to keep patients' records confidential.
Going to the doctor can be embarrassing. But for your own good, you confide things to a doctor you wouldn't tell anyone else. What is happening here is different.
"This is nasty business," says Dr. Adam Budzikowski, a New York cardiologist, who called the sex question "insensitive, stupid, and very intrusive." He could not think of an occasion when a cardiologist would need such information.
Doctors and hospitals that don't comply with the federal government's electronic health records requirements forgo incentive payments now and face financial penalties from Medicare and Medicaid starting in 2015. The Department of Health and Human Services has already paid out over $12.7 billion in incentives to doctors and hospitals.

Went to the eye doc last week. Thought it strange when all I needed was a new glaucoma prescription and the doc insisted on doing an opti-rectomy. When I asked what is was he said it was to remove the connecting nerve between eyeball and rectum in order to help improve on my shitty outlook.
It’s a good thing Madison didn’t rule out government snooping in addition to searches and seizures. Otherwise the government would be in violation of the Fourth.
I called my boss and told him I had an eye problem. He said what was wrong? I told him I just couldn’t see going to work today.....
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Just lie. You are not obligated to tell the truth when they ask you lifestyle questions, if you have firearms, etc.
Answer: "Hey, Doc; You hitting on me?"
At least the one I go to is sort of a 'prepper' type himself, and if he asks me if I have guns, it will be be because he is wondering if I have anything available for sale that he might want to buy.
Outstanding answer. I wonder how it would show up in the government's data base and if anything but complete compliance with these questions will be shared with the IRS and any other alphabet agencies used to subjugate any opposition to the alien occupiers of the formerly free USA?
Smart Doctors will make it seem like small talk.
Be aware that they are now reporting to the Gov.
Be polite be professional and tell them only what they need to know.
