I don’t have any problem with people objecting to questions from their doctor they find intrusive. I do, however, find it offensive that the government thinks it should be illegal for ANY particular individual or class (whether they are a doctor, lawyer, plumber, etc) to ask a question. It’s a perfect example of government sticking its nose in a place it doesn’t belong.

These questions and answers go into your medical file. Some are mandated by various health plans, states and feds. This is not your plumber being curious this is sanctioned intrusiveness that should be stopped.

As others have posted, answering MYOB can be treated may be treated as a yes.

How about a friendly visit from your local government child welfare inspector with cops to investigate the dangerous situation in your home - or to remove your children from the dangerous gun environment?

I agree that the state should not bar anyone from asking a question - but I have no problem with barring medical and others from collecting those questions and answers and incorporating those into a medical file or other government or quasi-government records that can be and will be used against you before you ever have a chance to have a day in court.

The law was not about preventing doctors from asking questions of responsible adults, but of doctors asking vulnerable patients such as children about guns and putting the answers into government accessible data bases.
