Re: Doctors asking if you own a gun

[quote="cb1000rider"]Inflammatory to this group anyway... I'm surprised that it wasn't posed as fact! Thanks for recognizing it for what it is.

The trouble, like the devil, always rests in the details. The WND article is fact based. It is a fact physician practices are being offered several hundred thousand dollars for purchasing computerized records systems. It is a fact that beginning in 2015 physician practices will be penalized 1 percent per year for failure to use these computerized systems. It is a fact that after time up to 95 percent of Medicare reimbursements to practices will be withheld as a penalty for not converting to an electronic system. The leap, so far, is federal government access to these systems holding sensitive and private information. We citizens must "trust" that the IRS which is tasked with administering the ACA will not access or misuse our information.

And that, I would posit, is the inflammatory nature of the article.

Re: Doctors asking if you own a gun

For what it may be worth, here's the latest from World News Daily: Published Sunday October 17, 6:30 a.m. Attribution pursuant to "Fair Use" section 107 title 17 U.S. Code ... character of use for nonprofit educational purposes.....

{"HAS YOUR DOCTOR TAKEN OBAMA BRIBE TO SPY ON YOU?
Get ready to talk about your meds, guns and lifestyle.
Sure, doctors will say Obamacare requires them to ask you these probing personal questions and to put your answers in the government's database.
But wait until you see the chunk of change Obama paid them to do it ...
Read the latest now on WND.com"}

Certainly inflammatory and sure to engage a large number of readers. Checked Snopes (even though everyone knows by now they are heavy contributors to the Democratic party) No mention of this particular angle of the continuing story.
