Barack Obama wants to know all about your sex life, and I mean all of it:
‘Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?”Cardiologists do not need this kind of information. Neither do ophthalmologists. Or neurosurgeons.Be ready to answer those questions and more the next time you go to the doctor, whether it’s the dermatologist or the cardiologist and no matter if the questions are unrelated to why you’re seeking medical help. And you can thank the Obama health law.
“This is nasty business,” says New York cardiologist Dr. Adam Budzikowski. He called the sex questions “insensitive, stupid and very intrusive.” He couldn’t think of an occasion when a cardiologist would need such information — but he knows he’ll be pushed to ask for it.Doctors are being financially pressured to violate your privacy:
Doctors and hospitals who don’t comply with the federal government’s electronic-health-records requirements forgo incentive payments now; starting in 2015, they’ll face financial penalties from Medicare and Medicaid. The Department of Health and Human Services has already paid out over $12.7 billion for these incentives.And if you think your information will be kept confidential, you're an idiot:Dr. Richard Amerling, a nephrologist and associate professor at Albert Einstein Medical College, explains that your medical record should be “a story created by you and your doctor solely for your treatment and benefit.” But the new requirements are turning it “into an interrogation, and the data will not be confidential.”
Lack of confidentiality is what concerned the New York Civil Liberties Union in a 2012 report. Electronic medical records have enormous benefits, but with one click of a mouse, every piece of information in a patient’s record, including the social history, is transmitted, disclosing too much.Just think- the IRS will know all of your sex life. And you know how clean they are:The social-history questions also include whether you’ve ever used drugs, including IV drugs. As the NYCLU cautioned, revealing a patient’s past drug problem, even if it was a decade ago, risks stigma.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), already under fire for its targeting of conservative organizations and monitoring of Americans’ online activities, is now being accused of stealing the medical records of over 10 million Americans.Secure, you argue? Wrong.A class action lawsuit filed in California in March claims that in the course of serving a warrant for tax records related to a single former employee of a southern California business, IRS agents “stole more than 60,000,000 medical records of more than 10,000,000 Americans.” The agents did this in spite of the fact that such a seizure was not authorized by the warrant, was irrelevant to their investigation, and violated federal law, the suit says.
According to the lawsuit, on March 11, 2011, the IRS “conducted a raid on the corporate headquarters” of the California company. The plaintiffs allege that the raid was unnecessary because “the agents admitted the company was not under investigation” — a confession backed up by both “internal IRS records” and “the search warrant.”

At least we can find out how many hookers he’s had in the last five years.
I happen to be a lesbian trapped in a man’s body, with no desire for transgender operations.
“MYOB”
works in most cases.
My doc has not pushed me for it but I am sure as he gets more pressure the answers will be “required”. But he won’t like them.I like my doc but since HHS and Bozo decided to make him the point of their spear, we have issues.
NO ONE will force me to do anything, especially to comply with this travesty.
I see too many people just shrug and give in to the nice lady taking history or at the desk. I study each question and be sure it is directly related to my care. The rest gets ignored.
Yeah, you have to fight a little bit but so what...they knw in the end they can’t beat it out of you. Yes they can deny service...but so what.
So many advocates of socialized medicine are some of the same people who most passionately insist that what they do in their bedroom is none of your business. It is gonna be great fun watching them discover than with socialized medicine, what they do in their bedroom is the business of any American that pays taxes.
well seeing as he loves to push homosexual sex then it does not surprise me but then again even this attack doesn’t surprise me anymore over the last few years
Already happening, my 13year old granddaughter went for sports physical for basketball & was asked that question! She was mortified & embarrassed, asked me why they would do that !
they would do that to make your 13 year year old think its okay and normal to be having sex.
Of course.
The First Moslem Tyrant call this “transparency”.
"Just say 'No'."
The only possible followup is "Why?"
And the answer to that is, "Nancy told me to say "Just say 'No.' "
The libs are the ones that this is going to affect far more. It might take them awhile to answer all the questions though (I’m sure sexual orientation will be one of them; just think about ll the pro-homo rallies they can organize ith this data; not only that, the homos will know who to target). With most married conservative couples the answers are going to be very boring.
I think I’ll answer:
“Only Zebras and Baristas”.
Well, I am not sexually active, but I AM getting f&%$$ed every day this guy is in office...
I was thinking that’s the appropriate answer to this question.
