Physicians, at least the more vocal ones, are predominantly Democrats, and by that I mean socialist, Obama sycophants. They got behind the Constitutionally challenged Obamacare program in order to require people to buy insurance they didn’t want and pay much higher premiums for much less service, but it did create a financial sinkhole of new government workers to run the program, so it is all good.
These same docs are against eating anything that tastes good, and they are just now realizing that government required electronic medical record keeping is hugely expensive, time consuming, and often incorrect. But hey, it’s the government so how could it be bad?
Into the mix now comes Dr. Eric Fleegler of Boston Children’s Hospital who spoke at the American Public Health Association (APHA) 2015 annual meeting in Chicago in early November. He is calling for much more government intrusion into the private lives of American citizens, this time using family physicians to serve as government spys.
Somehow that does not sound appropriate for a health care professional, does it?
Government spying into family records, page 2:
The gov started collecting medical data on everyone before Obama. I’ve worked in health insurance for 20 years. Insurance companies have mandatory reporting to medicare that includes diagnosis, treatment, physician, date of service and ss# and other info. Most people have no idea of this.
They are supposed to ask their patients about it…its none of their business!
311 days till election!
Lies
If I am ask about about guns from a doctor I will walk out of his office.
Too many days
Just lie to them like they lie to you
384, if I am counting right, till we FINALLY change administrations.
Arrgh!
According to HIPPA regulations, no one who does not have the need to know for direct care is allowed to see records of a patient. If a physician asks for information on your guns, ask them if it is something that they need to know to care for you. If they lie and say that it is, get another physician!
