If asked say no. You are not under oath. You can say none of your business which is correct but you will then make “The List”.

Some months ago a FReeper posted a very good comment about getting past the discomfort many people have with lying.

Simply that we are under no moral obligation to answer questions [honestly] that are asked by dishonest, immoral characters who have no business asking such questions in the first place. They are up to no good, trying to exploit people who value honesty and integrity in order use their good character against them.

These government agents are no different than thieves who demand PINs to the debit cards or the officials who asked God-fearing citizens if there were any Jews in their homes.

And another thing, these "health professionals" obviously aren't in the business of putting patients' health first. They work for those who pay them, bowing to the demands of their masters. Patients intuitively perceive the danger so no wonder they end up lying about all sorts of truly relevant things "just to be on the safe side".

Idiots who clamor for socialized medicine make the fatal mistake of assuming that the collective that pays the bill cares if patients live. Or they figure that their fellow travelers in the industry will somehow provide.

If "firearms safety" were truly the purpose for the invasive questions (isn't that what they always claim?), there would be NO NEED for the invasive question. After all, any patient may encounter guns/gun owners at any time... friends, family members, etc. Or in the time between routine appointments, a patient or family member in the home may choose to purchase a firearm. Gee then, wouldn't *everyone* benefit from these important safety tips? Ownership specifics shouldn't matter, if safety/injury prevention were the real motive. Uhuh...

... we are under no moral obligation to answer questions [honestly] that are asked by dishonest, immoral characters who have no business asking such questions in the first place.

The President is Liar in Chief, and every component of this government lies, to us and to the world.

At the point where a "health care professional" becomes a political agent for the State, I no longer trust that individual to look out for my best interests as a patient. I will go through the motions with them, and answer their questions in a manner designed to attract the least attention, and I will affect a demeanor that is passive, and dull, and compliant ... just what progressives want from their livestock.

And BTW, if we really are at the point where we cannot interact with our doctor without fear of political blackmail ...
