Will doctors be required to report people giving negative or evasive answers?
*Allowed* to ask? Doctors have First Amendment rights too.*Required* to ask? No way! If a doctor ever asks me that I'll calmly and respectfully refuse to answer.If there are repercussions to my refusal to answer then the lawsuits will begin (filed by me,of course).
I don’t need to pay someone that went to medical school to tell me of any “dangers”. To warn me about having a gun is as dumb as warning me about running with scissors or looking both ways before I cross the street.
If I understand it correctly, the information from these safety questionaires is entered into a computer, and then is provided to the federal government through the internet.
I may be wrong about that, but I think this mechanism is already in place, and is not waiting for obamacare to kick in.
So if you tell your doctor that there are guns in your home, that information will go to the government.
Are we to assume that doctors are now the Regime’s Gestapo and/or SS? We can surmise that they’re just adding more information to Big Bro’s database to use against us when We The People face a death panel, ya think?
I’m gonna tell them I have an Abrams in the parking lot.
It infuriates me when they ask me if I am a victim of domestic violence if I tell them my back hurts. I let them know I don’t appreciate them treating me like an idiot.
And if there are guns in the home, how does the doctor intend to "treat" the disease?
Because veterans know how to wage war.
Why not realize that medical personnel are being coerced by Obama, and are not willing to do this?
Possible repsonses”
1. How many firearms safety courses have you taken? None? Will then why are you asking me about firearms?
2. How much medical insurance do you carry? None of my business you say? Crickets.
3. Have you ever been sued for medical malpractice? You’re offended by that question you say? Well, wouldn’t that issue be more important to my health than owning firearms?
Just tell them the question is “non-applicable”.
Well maybe we need a questionnaire for Doctors ...
Question #1 How much do you owe on your Student Loans?
Question #2 Do you believe that the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights are Living Breathing Documents?
Question #3 Do you take Cash?
(those are the first three that came to mind)
TT
4. Why, are you planning on robbing me?
Who cares?
Just say "Yes."
"Do you have a gun a your home? Yes. Next question."
I'm not ashamed.
I just tell doctors I work in HIPAA compliance and they usually keep it short.
I’d always assumed that if you ever passed a background check or bought ammo/supplies with a debit card, the government already knew.
When dealing with the Fairview Network in Minnesota, I was deluged with these question on every doctor’s visit. So I put on the liberal act and gave the “safe” answers. Even talked with a lisp. Denied everything about my participation in competitive cycling, since it was not “age appropriate”. As far as I was concerned, I was living in a commie state, and filtered everything for commie consumption.
I live in Texas now. And still I get calls from the nannies in Minnnestoopid.
“Do I have any guns in my home? Before I answer that, do you have any sex toys in yours?”
