Am I over-reacting? Or, is this just messed up?

I do not think you are over reacting one bit. Here in the county I live in, there is one doctor remaining who has not succumbed to the pressure to join some sort of socialized medicine group. He is my GP. It is no surprise that he is a conservative Christian.

No. Many doctors are mad about the same issues.

Here’s a good one I heard from my wife’s doctor yesterday. Many doctors never learned to type or use the software in their office, now we have Obamacare many need to learn so instead, if they are a certain age and can afford it, they are retiring.

if it is possible, get off the prescription thing and do away with docs unless you’re in a car crash or something emergency. this can giveyou time to really find a good conservative hristian doc not caught up in obamacare.

"We may release information if asked by a law enforcement official"

ummmmm......no, you're not overreacting. I wouldn't sign that. How about initialing everything you agree to, crossing out those you don't agree to, and signing it that way?

Search the web for private non-insurance based doctors, direct-pay, etc.

People are coming up with ideas.

I saw a Christian group that shares medical expenses in some way and they have a list of participating doctors. I don’t know if they’re ok or not.

I’d research a bit, you may find something.

I work at a hospital.
Our Privacy Policy is nothing like that!
They list when and where they will release your info like other doctors that may consult on your case or your insurance company.
Law enforcement can only get your records by your direct permission or court order.
Commercial interests don’t get your records but may be notified that you are in a group (cancer pt, heartburn pt etc.) but you can opt out of sharing that info.....There’s a little check box there.

Run away!

Take your copy of the policy, strike out the portions you don’t like, initial those strikeouts, and turn it in with the short form. Say think you that was helpful, and hopefull they will not see you made strikeouts. Acceptance of the altered Policy could cause problemns for them later. Optimally, you should make a copy. Worth a try.
