I hope no one here revealed to their doctors that they own a gun—especially if their doctors seem to be anti-gun.

There’s a chance they would make a notation about your gun ownership in your medical record...........

IIRC, invasive questions by physicians about patients owning guns began just over a decade ago. The climate varies among the states, but some state boards of medical examiners will investigate complaints of intrusive inquiries for so-called health reasons.

However, in other states, refusal to answer the doctor’s questions or getting another doctor goes into the patient’s record.

“Your attitude has been noted, comrade.”

Equally invasive IMO are lifestyle questions, especially the snarky “Do you drink alcohol? If so, how much & how often?”

I’ve replied, “Yes, doctor, I have a gallon plastic jug labeled “Alcohol”. Full of pure straight grain 190 proof Everclear. I take a pull several times daily.”

When he lowers his spectacles & looks at me over the top of them, I state, “I enjoy bourbon over ice before dinner & wine with my meal.”

There’s a prohibitionist abstinence air about these questions IMO. If alcoholic beverages are so harmful, then let’s ban the sale, possession & use of all alcohol.

Hmmm......hasn’t that been tried already?

I was told that it will be a medical question asked by the doctor or on the Obamacare application for the database(Do you own any firearms?) to go into your Obamacare record.

Since owning a gun makes you more of a health "liability", I wonder how much more the TAX is MANDITORILY going to be to still get the "required" Obamacare?

I have always stated "It's not the healthcare, it's the DATABASE!!

How many of you would "voluntarily" sign up to put all the personal info of your life into a "comprehensive" Gov't database??

The IRS NOW has access to all your banking financial transactions under Obamacare (they'll deduct Obamacare like Social Security and Medicare) and seize your accounts for non-payment.

All that's left after that is to make things "cashless".

(There's an all-time best selling book that mentions the "cashless" thing somewhere......something about won't be able to buy or sell......)

And all this "Photo ID" stuff...probably ain't gonna be necessary.....

I would be careful about anything I said to my doctor now. Does the law now require I get a physical each year? Do my doctor’s hand written notes go into this database? Will they go in later? It changes your relationship with your doctor alright. Your doctor will practically be an agent of the US govt. The govt is not the same as an insurance co.

I hope no one here revealed to their doctors that they own a gun—especially if their doctors seem to be anti-gun.

I've had the same GP for nearly 30 years and just found out that she was taking a CCW class with the intention of applying for a carry permit. She was really excited when she told me she enjoyed range time and scored pretty good for a tyro. I told her she had discovered a 'guy thing', range time is better then psychoanalysis for relieving anxiety.
