Big brother is watching what you eat...

What are they going to do about it, Harvest our blubber for the organic fuels projects?

I'm not a lawyer, but isn't there a valid argument against this under the Constitution as illegal search and seizure of documents? The government has no right to demand this information and plenty of room to abuse it.

I, myself, will not allow any Dr. to weigh me as long as Obamacare is the "law"....

I think we must resist in any way we can.

Where’s that PRIVACY THINGY that the left says covers abortion??

There used to be such a thing as a doctor - patient privilege...obviously that has been discarded with by the Obama regime. And that term regime becomes more apt every day.

They will have cameras in your bedrooms next.

And then there is the taking of property without due process of law, like um, automatic withholding of income taxes....

It’s the Golden Rule.

Zero wants the info so he can pass it on to the death panels.

I can just see six or seven men and women in black suits sitting at a table with piles of medical records in front of them chuckling as they toss most of them into waste baskets.

Your private medical information will be in the Ruling Class/Big Brother database to be used to eliminate you, at their will, via the Hussein/Pelosi/Reid Death Panels. The Ruling Class can’t ensure the security of the DOD database and now your personal data will be out there for anyone to hack into. Blackmail or what else will happen to you?

Will the private medical records of every member of this Regime and Hussein’s cohorts in Congress be in the national database? Will Hussein’s Regime and the Ruling Class in this Congress stand before a Death Panel begging for medical care? Has the Ruling Class ensured that not one member of their family will face a Death Panel?

There are old, fat Liberal RATs in Hussein’s Regime and in this Congress. Perhaps they should be the first ones sent to the Pelosi Hospice Center.

Never Again is here and now.

So where is the suit against this on the basis of the “right to privacy” discovered in Roe v. Wade? The “reasoning” in that case held that the government could not be involved in a medical decision because of a generalized right to privacy that protected a woman and her physician from government intrusion into the decision to have or not have an abortion (hence the euphemism of “choice”).

I very much want to challenge to Obamacare based on Roe. Any outcome would be a win: either Obamacare goes down, or the fundamental reasoning in Roe gets overturned.

I’ll bring a couple of bowling balls the next time I weigh in.

OBTW, remember about a decade back how doctors were questioning their patients about whether they owned guns, and putting “your attitude is noted” into the records of those who either protested or refused to reply?
