Guns in your house? Be sure to read!
(got this from a friend of mine)
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 kind of 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.
Oh, yeah.. Doctors here are required to ask also.. One doc I've known for about 40 years told me he had to ask 'em but - since he knows me and what I do - he just quickly ran through 'em and I merely kept quiet.. Then he went on to fix whatever I was in for (this was 3-4 years ago).
I also 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!
Too polite.. My response was a bit more to the point, IYGMD..
So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention.
Gov't..
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!
From another Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: "I had a doctor's 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?"
"Not yet"..
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 owners 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 !
Pass this on to other veterans, retirees, and gun owners. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom you say it. They are coming for us, so unless you're an ostrich, do not stick your head in the sand!
Best thing is to say NOTHING.. Or, "not your business", etc..
I wonder if a person goes to some counselor or psychologist for some issue that the visit will be reported to Big Brother and generate a gov't request for the state to require that person to relinquish his/her CCW permit? Gotta be coming, one way or the other..
