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.

So much for Patient and Doctor Trust and Confidentially. Patients will start with holding information the Doctor might need to actually help the Patient.
I don’t really trust them at all when I said no over and over and they did what they wanted in spite of my objection. which is against the law and has left me with a lot of damage to my body. and no I don’t forgive them or the lawyers for not letting me have control of my own life. they cheated me of the ability to move without pain or being unable to walk again as I used too. every lawyer if spoke to, just fubbed me of asa crank. would not even help me when I fell and broke over five ribs. tell me to trust nt on your lives ever again.
It just proves that the King Obama is doing everything he can to undermine the morale of this Country.
Why would they?
morons…
How will you know if the info is turned over to the gov. via whatever means. A threat of a lawsuit is not much protection.
might not be much protection but it is better than sitting doing nothing, there has got to be a limit and your health is an issue between you and your doctor not the government.
