Liberty or … death by doctor visit?

Patrick Henry famously persuaded the American colonialists into a war for independence with the words, “give me liberty, or give me death.”

It seems that, for those who still pursue this philosophy today, death may indeed be even closer than it was before. Not because of war, mind you, but because the tyranny upon us may indeed lead us to prefer the death resulting from refusing doctor visits (!) to the tyranny that would come with them!

A Fox News executive recently changed doctors. He was shocked when his new doctor nailed him with some surprisingly intrusive questions:

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home.

Something tells me that the answer, “Hey sawbones, I’m just carrying on an old family tradition,” won’t get you very far here.

“Concerned”? Are you kidding me? What kind of ridiculous trap question is that?

Well, first off, it verges on fallacy of “complex question,” or “trick question.” It forces an assumption on you whether you answer yes or no—i.e. that there may in fact be unsecured weapons in your home. Merely answering this question at all may give some government officials probable cause to search your home.

The correct answer here is, “I don’t know, doc. Are you concerned that you have not stopped beating your wife?”

But just in case the nonsense wasn’t obvious and in-your-face enough, the questionnaire followed with a question about . . . beating your wife!

Another asked whether he/she was “in a relationship in which you have been physically

hurt or are you afraid of your partner?”

Bringing this down to home

The worst part of this questionnaire is that it’s not only real, but it’s mandated by ObamaCare. This means that all or at least most of our doctors will be mandated to ask these intrusive questions come 2014.

Fox notes that “Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare.” Get that folks. ObamaCare is about to mandate that doctors ask you questions about guns in your home, as well as about other issues, craftily stated, which may give a doctor reason to “sic” the Feds or Child Protective Services on you for even a “suspicious” answer. It is here that Napolitano’s advice is most helpful. In my paraphrase: “shut up.” The Fox article relates,

“Most people will think they have to answer. They don’t need to answer under the law,” he explained.

Napolitano said it’s “exceptionally troublesome” that the questions are being asked, but noted that Congress approved of the gun question when it passed Obamacare. He said the question about a person’s relationship at home is “totally a creation” of Health and Human Services under Obama.

“For the government to compel that question, that’s the problem. Without authority under the Constitution, or from the Congress, or from federal law or from any source, puts the government in the middle of the patient-physician relationship. That is a sacred relationship. One where there has to be free communication of ideas, not information that’s gonna go to the government,” said Napolitano, who noted that patients should be informed by the doctor that they are not required by law to answer the questions.

Three main things are of note here:

First, in the near future, you doctor may indeed ask you such questions, and

Second, that doctor should but probably will not inform you that you don’t have to answer such a question, and, most importantly,

Third, under current law, you do not need to answer any such intrusive question.

If an activist doctor tries to involve the Feds after such a non-answer, it appears that they would be acting on no evidence, not a reasonable suspicion, and thus would likely be liable to a lawsuit.
