State your race and ethnicity, or no doctor for you.
The image below was sent to me by a reader who went for a visit to a physician, and was told that she could not be seen unless she filled out this race and ethnicity questionnaire, and put her name on the form.
She initially refused, but they insisted that it was required or she could not see the doctor. The form does indicate that it is mandatory under Section 4302 of Obamacare.

That was about a 20 minute argument between this kid and the admissions lady with me laughing hysterically the entire time.
On one form it ask for sex. My response was: “not very often”

How about a white South African immigrant?
About as “African American” as you can get!
Minorities and white trash also lie about their incomes or household income big time by failing to mention they have income coming in from a spouse , live-in boyfriend or girlfriend, or other family members. I am willing to bet if they did a review of EBT recipients they would catch millions of false statements in their questionairres.
I don’t see Swedish, English, or Irish on there. I guess I’ll be left in the corner to suffer.
> I’ve been considering a plethora of “identities” I might use when asked about sex/race/gender etc. I have currently decided to identify as a Samoan blind, quadriplegic, hermaphrodite lesbian.
You would get an even higher allowance if you stated Islam as your religion...: )

I wear a short sleeve shirt to exercise my right to bare arms
But race doesn’t exist? And where are the European ethnicities?
hmmmmm, I was born here so I can mark “Native American”
According to latest theory all humans came from Africa so I can mark “African American”
And of course I can mark “white”
So that gives me at least three legitimate answers to mark.
But then, as another poster mentioned, we are now allowed to identify as anything we feel we are, so maybe this week I’ll be a hispanic woman. Or a Chinese man. I don’t know. I’m so confused. Life was so much easier when you could just look in your pants to determine what you were.
I was thinking the same thing.
There is no way to prove or disprove such an assertion so why not have some fun with them?
See if the doctor looks surprised.
I already check all the minorities on questionnaires.
If Obama can be “black”, I can be “other”. But I might want to be “black”. It appears there are some advantages to being “black”, and lots of people are choosing it today.
When Obama, a man whose mother is Caucasian, and whose father was one eighth African Negro but majority Arab, can tell us in his autobiography that in his youth he struggled with his racial identity before *deciding* to be black, what is “black”?
Frankly, I never think of BHO as “black” until he brings it up, yet again. But recall the old warning that he who controls the meaning of words controls the outcome of a discussion. Just what does he mean by “black”?
When Nobel Prize winning poet Tony Morrison can write an October 1988 New Yorker article titled “Clinton as the first black president”, then what is “black”? When the NAACP calls the black conservative Kenneth Gladney, “not black enough”, and “not a brother” then what is “black”? When Time magazine’s Jack White calls Supreme Court Justice Thomas, “the scariest of all the hobgoblins”, saying “Washington seems to be filled with white men who make black people uneasy”, than what is “black”?
As these expressions of “black” pile up in the mind of the public, more and more will wake up to this truth: with respect to BHO being black: it is not about the racial characteristics he was born with, it is about the socialist ideology he adopted. It is not what percent black he is, it is about how thoroughly red he is.
Ten of the current Congressional Black Caucus are in the list of 20 biggest spenders in Congress. So, black must be the new red. I guess I’ll become “other”. That should sit well with the liberals, who are so concerned with “otherism”.
If you can choose to be whatever "gender identity" you want I don't see any reason you shouldn't be able to identify as whatever race you want, too.
I worked with a guy born and raised in South Africa, who makes the full Moon on a cloudless night looks rather dark. If he even hears the word, "Sun," he burns.
Now a U.S. citizen, he can and does rightfully call himself an "African American."
As for me, I am descended from Polish and Russian Jews, and my Mexican-born wife is descended from Polish and Rumanian Jews (and she also burns at the mere mention of the Sun)...but our children are listed as "Hispanic" on all applications. Those @ssholes are going to try to divide us all up, and disadvantage my kids for something that they weren't even alive to do (sheesh, NONE of their ancestors were even in the country during slavery), then I can play their twisted game. Phuckers...what the Hell ever happened to being an American first, to acknowledging that while we are different, being American is the one thing that unifies us all??? Phucking progressives Communists.
Do what I did, on the advice of our attorney:
Create a "Gun Trust". Place/transfer all firearms in either Appendix A or B (Title I and Title II firearms).
Legally and ethically, when someone asks, "Do YOU own any firearm"? You can truthfully say "NO" (because the trust owns them).
Also, when our Pedicatrican was out, my wife and I saw her partner. When she started in with the APA's anti-gun rant, the conversation went something like this:
Pediatrician:"The APA and myself recommend getting rid of all firearms in the home because your child could get hurt. Do you have any guns in your home?"
Me:"What is your malpractice insurance carrier? "
Pediatrician:"What? Why do you need that information?"
Me:"Are you ex-military, or ex-LEO, with standing credentials in firears safety from an accredited organization such as the NRA? Are you a certified firearms safety instructor?" "Are you a NRA certified Range Safety Officer"?
Pediatrician:"NO! Why?!"
Me:"You are a licensed medical doctor. I am going to write your malpractice insurance, and the medical board and tell them you are giving recommendations that you are not qualifed to give."
Pediatrician:"What are you talking about?"
Me:"You are giving recommended advice outside of your training and experience. You just told me you have no credentials in the area of firearms safety. To me that is unprofessional and unethical".
Pediatrician:"Perhaps we should just move on."
Me:"Smart move, Doc."
Guess what? When our next child went in a year later, that question/comment was NOT brought up by anyone in her doctors group.

Quite a few imaginative responses on the race-ethnicity-gender thing. I’m thinking about how to call myself a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. That might befuddle them for awhile.
It’s ironic that the far left is so preoccupied with who is or isn’t black because that is exactly what the old slave owners used to do. Slaves were valued at least in part by their degree of blackness. Full-blood africans were the least desirable. Then you had mulattos, quadroons, octoroons, and the lightest which was often referred to as a high yeller. I used to work with one of those, he had red hair and freckles.
If people of African decent would ever wake up and realize that the left is grading them out like eggs or potatoes, it would be the end or their undying loyalty to the democrat party.
