NOYFB is better. And they can ask all the questions they want. There is no guarantee that any response is a) truthful or b) accurate.
I believe that on consent forms you can specify who does NOT get your medical records. It would be interesting to find out what happens if you object to the feds getting your medical information. Looks like this case decides you can’t object.
However, HIPAA is still in force and the doctor could be sued if he gives out your medical information to the feds. I spoke to a Medicare rep and she was unaware of the contradiction, nor what doctors will wind up doing.
And to the NSA trolls, FU.
Lie to the doctor, then stop using him. Pretty simple to me.Lots, if not most doctors are firearms owners/sportsmen who won’t ask.
I think the better response is just to lie and say "no guns". Telling the doctor to MYOFB will just get you put down as a gun owner and probably a "belligerent" gun owner at that. And this will become part of your permanent federal digital medical records. (ie. gun registry). As much as it hurts, in this instance one should "just say no."
