One of the most integral rights one has as a patient in a doctor’s care is their right to privacy. This important right ensures that your health conditions, particularly sensitive ones such as mental illness, is no one business but your own and those who are involved with treatment.
Well, today Obama destroyed that right with his far-reaching executive action regarding gun sales in the United States.
How did patient privacy end up being entangled with gun ownership? Evidentially, the new policies set forth by the president will allow doctors to turn in their patients medical records so that they can impede on that person’s second amendment right to own a gun.
If that sounds illegal to you, you may be right. HIPPA explicitly protects a patient from involuntary disclosure of medical records, but a broad exclusion for purposes of law enforcement opened up the door for Obama’s administration to exploit.

Dont tell your doctor$#%&!@*
This is going to lead to more distrust in doctors. They are already mandated to report gun shots. Thar’s ok for the victim’s for it helps the police in an investigation. Reporting people to the government is going way beyond the scope of their jobs! They are there for the health of their patients not the policing of them. The first time a doctor asks a question of gun ownership or another, the patient/doctor relationship has become something more. Any doctor that would put funding ahead of patient care shouldn’t be a doctor at all! There are too many people out there that don’t trust doctors already and this will only lead to more and more people going without health care and lead to more problems in the future! There’s some doctor’s out there that already have that “God complex” mentality, giving them a “policeman” mentality is just asking for trouble!!
My guns are my business, not y Doctor’s.
United States Congress you are just as responsible as the Obama administration. You have permitted this with your cowardly inaction. You are to represent the people and you have sold us down the river for your own ambitions. You will pay a heavy price for your treason you shall receive no mercy from the people.
I guess this means we have to lie to our drs or just refuse to answer. 🙂
