I had to come on to FR and post the following discussion that just took place at lunch that I had with a law enforcement agent that I am currently working with and a general practitioner who happen to be dining at a booth next to ours.
The television was on as the President was giving his speech about his 23 executive orders. When the discussion arrived about mental health and giving up personal information under the HIPPA act.
The physician stated that if Americans read about Obamacare a year ago they would have seen that the foundation was clearly there for this to be implemented anyway.
He said the bottom line is, doctors have been made cops or "agents" now for the government and are basically ratting out all kinds of information to them and other agencies that are covered under the umbrella of information access that Obamacare grants.
His one example was this:
If you have a history of anxiety attacks...the physician can now recommend to homeland security and the reporting agencies that receive the reports of "YOUR WELL BEING" on whether or not you should possess a weapon or not in your home. If a history of panic, depression, or bi-polar disorders exist in the HOUSEHOLD...your house will be checked off as a home that CAN NOT OR SHOULD NOT OWN A FIRE ARM.
Did you read that? Read it again.
The doctor and officer said this was another way of Obama and the government showing who were the weak links in society and leave them without the ability to defend themselves or have a voice other than to be medicated and monitored by the federal government as well and that routine checks can be made by law enforcement officers via a warrant operation set up by ATF to sweep your home for weapons.
There is so much more to go on here but I had to get this posted on what these 2 professionals were speaking about this afternoon...this is so much worse than anyone is even talking about.

The only problem they will have is IF, and that’s a big IF, the local cops don’t help enforce the law. Or, that could be why they hired all those “IRS” agents. Maybe they’re not IRS agents at all.
Oh goodie. Thank God, my doctor is in canada and the Odumbo machine cannot trace it back to him.
From now on, no information whatsoever, except that which might directly to get medical care, will be given to medical doctors. If I’m depressed, clinically, I will just ‘balls through it’. If I relapse with intoxicants, I will just ‘balls through it’. Anything that could be used to take my guns, I will just ‘balls through it’.

On the other hand, maybe more people will seek out a priest to talk over things they used to see a therapist for.
So many people I know are on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. The list will be long.
Let me FreepMail you my the firearm disposal address.
Don't make the doc call you. He has your number.
Had a physical about 3 weeks ago. No questions about guns.
Interesting. My husband is a retired M.D.
He said he will check on this.
That’s what I did. Sat there with my .357 S&W revolver right there in my purse and gave him my best Southern Lady impression. “Why of course not doctor, guns are dangerous”. Found me a new doc asap.
I can see it now: My doctor asks me if I’ve ever thought about hurting anybody with my gun and I give him a long stare, then I say ‘Only smart-assed doctors who ask too many questions about stuff that isn’t any of their damned business.’
I wonder how many lists that would ut me on.
> too many didnt seem to care<
That’s odd. Didn’t the republican members of the House unanimously vote against the act?
Jim, I pray that what you say is true. I love my MD because back in Klinton’s time they were trying to make Dr’s ask if there was firearms in the home. He elected not to do it. PS he also knew I was an active competitive pistol shooter. I’ve been part of several gun forums and saw posts by LEA’s saying they’d never.... But they will if it means their pay or retirement. I will never forget seeing a group of CHP helping out in New Orleans after the hurricane. Loading an elderly lady into the back of a freaking dump truck along with her dog because she told them all she needed was water and that she could protect herself because she had a pistol. They stormed her took her down and took the gun away then carried her in the back of the dump truck.I hope my Dr maintains his humanity if it gets worse. I have more but it just makes my heart hurt to see what this country has become.
