Obamacare will question your sex life


‘Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?”

Be ready to answer those questions and more the next time you go to the doctor, whether it’s the dermatologist or the cardiologist and no matter if the questions are unrelated to why you’re seeking medical help. And you can thank the Obama health law.

Lack of confidentiality is what concerned the New York Civil Liberties Union in a 2012 report. Electronic medical records have enormous benefits, but with one click of a mouse, every piece of information in a patient’s record, including the social history, is transmitted, disclosing too much.
The social-history questions also include whether you’ve ever used drugs, including IV drugs. As the NYCLU cautioned, revealing a patient’s past drug problem, even if it was a decade ago, risks stigma.

On the other end of the political spectrum is the Goldwater Institute, a free-market think tank. It argues that by requiring everyone to have health insurance and then imposing penalties on insurers, doctors and hospitals who don’t use the one-click electronic system, the law is violating Americans’ medical privacy.
The administration is ignoring these protests from privacy advocates. On Jan. 17, HHS announced patients who want to keep something out of their electronic record should pay cash. That’s impractical for most people.

There’s one question they can’t ask: Thanks to the NRA, Section 2716 of the ObamaCare law bars the federal government from compelling doctors and hospitals to ask you if you own a firearm.

Are such precautions paranoid? Hardly. WikiLeaker Bradley Manning showed how incompetent the government is at keeping its own secrets; incidents where various agencies accidentally disclose personal data like Social Security numbers are legion. And that’s not to mention the ways in which commercial databases are prone to hacking and/or exploitation.

Being gay is more detrimental to your long-term health than being a smoker.

In My Opinion
And when I refuse to answer anything that has no bearing on what Im being seen for?

If I go in because of chest pains, they dont need to know how many women I have poked in my life.

If I go in with blisters on my tool, I can see where that might be a question related to the diagnosis.

I would have no problem with this. I gave up sex for lent, and for years now nobody has lent me a thing.

of course you could make up a story that involved homosexual encounters, prostitutes and small mammals.
just to see the look on their faces.

I politely decline to answer questions from cops. I damn sure ain't gonna answer questions from my doctor that don't have anything to do with the reason for my visit.

I'd be hard pressed to even suggest my lack of a sex life has anything at all to do with my overall health. Did it cause my prostate cancer, psoriasis, glaucoma, loss of hair, cellulitis or hemorrhoids? If it did I'll go out and screw my brains out to get rid of all these.

One's sex life is a private matter. What decisions you make about it are your business, and your's alone; not the government's business, in any form, whatsoever. I think Congress should have to answer the questions, first, if it is going to be mandatory. That would be very interesting. We have seen some pretty wild 'outings' already in the past 10 years! :lol:

So much for me getting email. I must have started a "flag". If I send a picture to a 50+ year old man the response should not take 24 hours to get to me.

A picture of me with my baby blanket? I guess it was better than I thought.

Yes and when the doctor starts in with questions about sex and the answer is no to everything, he checks it off and rules out things that could be caused by sexual contact.

You know, Dixie, your forum name should have been carpetbagger. I would be surprised if you really are from the South. If you want someone to pick on; pick on me. Oldman is one of the nicest people on this forum. And, furthermore, if what he lists as ailments have anything to do with sex, he was just being human. I would like to see our wannabe police state government try to control that! Too funny, and too controlling. You must be a liberal! :killingme
