ObamaCare Extended To Policing Gun Ownership
BY THOMAS MCARDLE

“If you like your gun, you can keep your gun” is definitely not anything you’ll be hearing from President Obama soon.
You may never have thought that a simple visit to the doctor could lead to the FBI breathing down your neck, but the president’s new executive actions on gun control could lead to just that, mortally wounding the long-established presumption of doctor-patient confidentiality.
Obama’s directives apparently trump long-standing federal rules preventing doctors from disclosing mental health matters. Now the executive branch will “expressly permit certain HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) covered entities to disclose to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) the identities of individuals who are subject to a Federal ‘mental health prohibitor’ that disqualifies them from shipping, transporting, possessing or receiving a firearm.”
Currently, if a doctor discloses a patient’s private information without that patient’s authorization, the physician could be sued for malpractice or invasion of privacy. The president now apparently wants violating that confidential bond to be treated as an act that promotes public safety.
And the question of “mental health” is entirely subjective. If you tell your doctor you woke up Monday morning feeling like killing yourself, or that your spouse made you mad enough to reach for your hunting rifle, will that warrant a call to the FBI? Will a federal SWAT team then pounce, just in case you have a gun or two in the house? Such law enforcement overreach is by no means an outlandish scenario.
The ObamaCare database, it turns out, was only the beginning of this administration’s violations of the medical privacy of Americans. Now doctors are set to be enlisted in the nation’s federal gun police.

No.
I turned it on, saw his disgusting face, and turned it off.

I’m with you. I can’t look at that putrid human being or his horrendous wife. The biggest joke ever played on the American public is sitting in the WH.
is boehner back lololol
oh my frickin word- I didn’t think his lies could get any more pathetic- but now he’s beefing them up with tears?c He couldn’t give two turds about the kids- IF he cared about hem he would put armed guards In schools to prevent mass shootings! He would allow citizens the right to carry- making it MUCH harder for mass shooters to do the carnage they do! That FRICKEN Tear was BS
Holy Crap this country is in trouble-
He is calling for fingerprint technology so that ‘no child can fire a gun’ which means our fingerprints will be on record if we own guns- AND he wants chips in guns ‘so that guns that are stolen can be tracked’ BS so that those who lose their gun for ANY reason will be charged with failure to secure their firearms
Nah, I’d be very kind. I’d say Barack, ole buddy ole pal, this president business is really wearing on you isn’t it? We don’t want to see it frazzle you to an early grave, that would absolutely horrify our hearts. Couldn’t you quit? And even take Slow Joe with you, we’ll vote you an emolument to spend the rest of your lives in the best resort in Kenya you like.
Nor can I.
All of them are highly offensive to my senses and my sensibilities.
“If you like your gun, you can keep your gun” is definitely not anything you’ll be hearing from President Obama soon.”
We just heard him say it today when he said “The second amendment is important and we want to protect it, BUT.....................”
oh i bet isis is laughing their ass off at obama for crying sayin what a wuss
I hate it when people keep saying Obama was a law professor. He was a lecturer and he taught critical race theory. CRT is basically a class you take as a elective to get a good grade. It’s not a core class or even a hard one at that. It’s basically a class that all the affirmative action students take.
what’s all this abourt him being a constitution expert or whatever then?
Oh, he has a WELL of tears for the POOR, poor refugees, illegals, Muslims...
Not a ONE for the destruction of the Republic/Constitution by his own hand, bitter clingers, blacks in Chicago/NY/Baltimore/..., Christians/Jews, or....
Obama is going to make this country safer and less violent by taking away our guns. Meanwhile, he is releasing the violent, raping, killing jerks from prisons all over this country. He is keeping the violent illegal alien criminals in our country. He is supporting everything against the Constitution. This is a very sick man.
I could only take about 3 minutes of the drama queen.
So glad I didn’t bother watching. I’m allergic to drama queens.

Obama learned from Bubba “the Stainmaker” Clinton that liberal morons will eat that skeit up. We can expect a lot more of the waterworks this coming year.
