Doctors forced to interrogate patients about whether they own guns
(NaturalNews) The Obama Administration is making another play against gun owners, this time by alternately using financial rewards and penalties against doctors.
According to reports, physicians who inquire whether or not their patients have loaded guns in their homes will earn extra compensation from Medicare.
As reported by PatriotNewsDaily:
When Dr. Vivek Murthy was confirmed as the nation’s next surgeon general, politicians on both sides of the aisle expressed dismay. This was a guy who had come out forcefully in favor of gun control, having labeled firearms as a “public health threat.” But while Dr. Murthy has promised not to use his position as a bully pulpit for politically-divisive topics, the Obama administration is already using the healthcare system to intrude on private gun ownership.
Writing in his local Tennessee paper, The Murfreesboro Post, Dr. Mark Kestner said that, if patients had not yet been asked whether they had guns in their homes, that time was likely coming. How patients respond, though, is up to them.
Comply, or else we’ll cut your payments
Dr. Kestner wrote:
The question is usually asked as “Do you keep loaded firearms in your home?” The answer will be recorded in your health record at your doctor’s office. As part of the Electronic Health Records (EHR) initiative led by the federal government your response may also be collected by the federal government.
The federal law that launched Obamacare, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act, includes the question as part of its provisions. However, you are not compelled by law to respond to the question.
But that’s not all. There are other invasive questions that the law requires physicians to ask, including, “Do you have reason to be afraid that your spouse may physically harm you?”

They aren’t forced to do anything, they probably go along with it because they 1-hate guns and gun owners, 2-they like the power it gives them over another person. All they really need to do is tell a little lie, why not everybody else lies especially the treasonous bastards in DC.
