Gun in the house
« on: November 30, 2012, 05:16:29 PM »
Received this as an email. Can't vouch for it being accurate.
"Do you have a gun in the house? Do you know how to answer?
Always answer "NO"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Do you have a gun in the house?

When I had my gangrene gallbladder taken out and spent 10 days in the
hospital for what should have been an overnight stay the insurance company
kicked me out. I had home nurse visits for two weeks and was asked if I had
guns in the house. I respond that if I did I would not tell them. So the
below has some merit.
 
FYI, I am passing this along... there are comments from two other people I
have also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda
slipped it in along with all the other regular questions. I told her I
refused to answer because it was against the law to ask.
 
Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they
have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in
my house and also if any were loaded. I, of course, answered yes to both
questions. Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed. I answered
that my son, who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland
Security, advised me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection
against criminal attack.
 
The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare,
and probably everyone else.
 
Just passing this along for your information: I had to visit a doctor other
than my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.. One of the questions
on the form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My
answer was None of your damn business!!
 
So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government
intervention. Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets
into your medical records (as they want to under Obamacare) it will become a
major issue and will ultimately result in lock and load!!
 
Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners... Thanks.
From a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctors appointment
at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting
that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing
the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions: 1. Did I
feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to
someone?
 
The nurse then informed me that if I had answered yes to any of the
questions I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone
into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland
Security.
 
Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like
retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the
civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware. The
Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun
owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner, veteran or not,
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED !
 
If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very
cautious about what you say and to whom.
 
They are coming for us, so unless you're an ostrich, do not stick your head
in the sand."

On matters such as this I don't know that I would trust Snops too much. They bend over backwards pretty far to the Left.

Just did a web search. It is happening. Florida passed a low prohibiting doctors from asking that question and a Federal judge blocked it.
Alabama had a similar measure pending at that time, Feb 2011.
Kids, that's two years ago.
Just found an article on the subject by Michelle Malkin from 2008. It mentioned an effort by Durham county and Duke university. Yes, the gubmint is in on it.

You know the left backwards bending snopes? Had the same information right in the article. The repealed law just prevented the medical people from asking about it. There is no evidence anywhere that the government requires them to ask it.

  Just more paranoia.

And I'll bet you can find more.

No paranoia at all. Only reality. Some people choose to stick their heads in the sand.
The Snopes article answered the question if it was a Medicaid REQUIREMENt.
No, not by Medicaid. Yet.

Ooooh. Barbie is a Canadian citizen so she can't vote. Big deal, she can still contribute to campaigns and do things for candidates. That statement is pure cover for them.
In 2000 he registered as a Repuke. Big deal #2. That was then. Notice they didn't say he voted Repuke. Cover by omission.
My statement is based on my own observations from using the website, not on any Internet rumor. Many people I know have also noticed their leftward drift over the years.

I've seen the question about guns in the house on several patient information questionnaires that I have filled out.  I either ignore the question, or write a comment that "This is not a medically relevant question".  I figure that most likely, whoever is reading the questionnaire takes either of those answers as "gun owner".

I think I'm going to start writing "Molon Labe!" next to that question every time I see it now...   ;D
