You’re visiting your doctor because you have flu symptoms. After checking your heart, pulse and other vital signs, your doctor turns to you and asks, “By the way, the federal government has authorized me to ask you, What type and how many guns do you have in your home?”

Sounds like George Orwell’s “1984”? Wrong. It’s 2013. And if President Barack Obama gets his way by executive order, doctors across the country could play a key role in his new gun control initiative.

On Wednesday morning, Obama released a sweeping 23 executive actions and orders he will take to limit gun usage. Already, talk of the executive orders has raised significant controversy. Order 16, for example, may raise serious concerns with privacy advocates. The order, as summarized, simply states federal agencies will “clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.” …

Ask them if they know the definition of “boundry violation”?

If your Doctor asks about you having guns in the home ask what training he has received & from where ?

If they don’t have serious training ask them if the Doctors malpractice insurance carrier knows they are practicing outside their scope of practice & would the Doctor mind if you told the insurance carrier.

That should basically shut down the questioning.

As the noose was tightened, local community organizers were appointed to watch their neighbors and were told to report subversive comments to the bureaucrats above them. Neighbors informed on neighbors, some for reasons of patriotism or loyalty, some from fear. A modern inquisition ensued; a terror to free thought and expression. Increasingly harsh penalties were meted out to those who dared to dissent. The socialist governments of the Soviet Union, Fascist Italy, N. Korea, Cuba, Yugoslavia, and the People's Republic of China employed the same citizen informer techniques. Citizens of those societies were reduced to either silence or whispered discussion only among those they trusted the most. Of course none of those things would ever occur here in the land of the free.

Is this where Homeland Security gets their ideas from?

I probably could have better expressed myself using fewer or NO expletives in English. I think a nicer alternative would be to write (in Hebrew) -

Ha-matzav - khara

...or...

המצב - חרא

It means "We're in deep shit" :-)

Easy for the Doc to trick the kids!

“Does your Dad hunt?”

Kids, "That old dog don't hunt! sheeet, spit, he ain't hunted since the boating accident."

I have posted this before, but will post this again...

The VA has been doing this for a long time. First time my primary care physician asked me, I said, doctor ______, I love you, but it isn't any of your business. She put down, "no." Hasn't asked since.
