Obama encourages division between doctor and patient

  In the most insidious of moves, one of Obama's many executive orders encourages doctors to squeal on their patients to the government if they own guns.
  Having taken over an already burdened health care system, the government now moves toward patients no longer having confidentiality or even confidence in their own doctors.
  The long term implications of this decree are extraordinary.
  Couched in sympathetic language about protection and "patient safety", what the decree does is increase the paranoia and uncertainty of legal gun owners under the guise of their "protection," which in reality is another excuse for government spying on the rights of free Americans.
  "Worried" that there's "confusion" over the health care law's restrictions, Obama seeks to "clarify" the government position on the reportage of gun ownership to the government.
  Thus begins the deterioration of the doctor/patient relationship.
  In addition, this decree could actually increase the number of people struggling with mental illness who refuse to seek help.
  For example, imagine a patient has anxiety or depression. 
  Will that patient be comfortable talking to his or her doctor about problems, knowing that doctor's going to run to the government with "concerns" that the patient has guns?
  How much confidence can a patient have in a doctor's politics or personal biases regarding personal issues such as gun ownership?
  And say the patient enjoys shooting but actually struggles with violent fantasies on which he never acts. Will that patient be comfortable talking to a therapist about the source of those fantasies?
  From the Obama decree:

“Doctors and other mental health professionals play an important role in protecting the safety of their patients and the broader community by reporting direct and credible threats of violence to the authorities. But there is public confusion about whether federal law prohibits such reports about threats of violence. The Department of Health and Human Services is issuing a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits these reports in any way.  

“Doctors and other health care providers also need to be able to ask about firearms in their patients’ homes and safe storage of those firearms, especially if their patients show signs of certain mental illnesses or if they have a young child or mentally ill family member at home. Some have incorrectly claimed that language in the Affordable Care Act prohibits doctors from asking their patients about guns and gun safety. Medical groups also continue to fight against state laws attempting to ban doctors from asking these questions. 

“The Administration will issue guidance clarifying that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit or otherwise regulate communication between doctors and patients, including about firearms.”

  Though this latest decree may seem just an extension of previous laws, it is a march toward complete government access to personal health records, particularly now that health records are required to be kept online.
  Ask Rush Limbaugh how he feels about that. 
  Obamacare is being used to manipulate just about everything governmental entities wish. The government has taken over loans to prospective doctors, which means ultimately the government will get to determine what specialty a med student must pursue and what geographic locations he/she will serve in.
  Obamacare has shaped business behavior; it's determined insurance company behavior and prices. Obamacare has devastated the economy and there's more on the way.
   Oppressive laws and regulations regarding health care have literally changed the way health care is delivered, who gets what and the kind of facilities are being built for certain demographics.
   In a most absurd extension of the HIPAA law, a sheriff cited HIPAA law as a reason for arresting a man who was filming a violent police interaction with a citizen. 
  Patients are made to sign extensive HIPAA documents before receiving treatment.
  Yet who can trust the bumbling, obese, intrusive nature of governmental entities, much of which is run by political hacks and appointments?
  Rather than encouraging debate, once again "pretty friendly guy " Obama's press conference continued his habit of scapegoating anyone who disagrees with him.
  Obama surrounds himself with children, claiming the saving of even one life justifies any behavior he wants. 
  Statistically in a mass shooting if the victims have to wait for the police to arrive, the carnage has already happened and an average of 14 people have been murdered. If someone is on the scene with a gun to shoot the shooter, an average of 2 1/2 people die. 
  Overall shootings are down; the FBI reports that more people die from fists and hammers than guns. States that have CCW have less crime overall.
  Yet none of these facts have deterred Leftists in their determined drive to ban guns, to violate every private fact of a person's life and control even the most mundane events of everyday life.
