“A bit off topic, but as a nurse in training, we are not being educated to “screen” patients for owning firearms and keeping them in the home — the idea being to “prevent’ you from harming yourself, if you become depressed.
I say — if they ask you in a physical history exam if you own a gun ...don’t even say yes. It’s personal info they have no right to know. Screw ‘em.”
A bit confused on your reply, are they training you ask about firearms in the home?
My company is moving to a health plan that has a mandatory wellness program, where they draw your blood do a physical and history. I’m a bit concerned how this information is gong to be used and by whom.
Yes, they are. It’s part of the normal health history. We are to ask — do you own a gun? Do you keep firearms in the home?
The idea is to prevent suicide, I suppose. However, people have owned guns forever ...what is the big deal?
However, if your a liberal gungrabber government, and your’e also mandating a healthcare system, with an electronic data base, then the information is right there as to who has guns in the home. Could be very useful.
Creepy, if you ask me.
