Re: Florida doctors can ask patients about guns, court rules
The fix will not be easy or quick and will not involve one-liners. Congress has broad powers under the Constitution to determine the makeup of our federal judicial system and to censure and impeach judges. so the best solution would be to get Congress to grow a set and do their sworn duty to protect the checks and balances being abused by the Judicial Branch.. Absent that, all we can really do is support a convention of the states and totally and Constitutionally re-make the judicial branch ourselves.
But if we want a system in which judge shopping for a leftist kook to overturn a law they don't like is more important than the law itself, or when one wishy-washy swing-justice of the supreme court is the most powerful person on earth(most recently the position held by Anthony Kennedy) then we should just continue to do nothing.
In the meantime under Obamacare, we've essentially deputized medical doctors and made them ethically and possibly criminally liable for not being highly suspicious of anyone who owns a gun.Last edited by TSimonetti; February 25th, 2017 at 09:57 AM.

Re: Florida doctors can ask patients about guns, court rules
The problem with doctors asking theses questions and then making a record of the answers is that it could end up being a HIPPA violation. The reason that I say that is that a persons medical records are private and only available to people that need that info to treat you for a medical condition. Your medical records are seen by many many people that have nothing to do with your actual medical treatment.
All of a doctors notes are entered into your file and that file is that entered into data base and anyone with access to the data base can see your medical record and that is where the problem lies. A file clerk that works for the same health care system as your doctor can access your record from any terminal in the system. That same file clerk could make a list of all the gun owners that are listed in the system ,down load that list to the cloud and after they log out of the system at the end of the day go home access they list and "anonymously " release the list to the media.Last edited by chp1911; February 25th, 2017 at 01:57 PM.

Re: Florida doctors can ask patients about guns, court rules
I was just trying to add a little levity to the issue. But I do agree with you, the Congress needs to do something about the courts which have gone off the rails for sure. If it's not firearms ownership, they are now sticking their noses into the Executive Branch's responsibility for controlling foreigners coming into the country. The Congress has the constitutional authority to act, now they just need to do so.

Re: Florida doctors can ask patients about guns, court rules
Florida really is not progun. No open carry and even if someone sees a firearm you can be arrested. There is a list of soooo many prohibited places. So its understandable that this happened. You basically have a CCW to carry most places you don't need a gun and not to carry where needed.

Re: Florida doctors can ask patients about guns, court rules
They could. And then that hospital will look at the logs and see who accessed all those files and then that person would be in a world of hurt.
Besides which, your scenario is entirely implausible anyway. Very high risk, very low reward.
Same file clerk could do as you describe with all the AIDS patients, etc., but you don't see any homophobic file clerks compiling and releasing that info either.
Besides which, accessing patient info in Cerner and Epic is a huge pain in the ass. It takes multiple screens to get down to ONE patient's info for ONE patient encounter. Trying to access every patient in the system would take approximately FUCKING FOREVER. Staff working in medical offices are way too busy for that shit.
Now, if you're thinking a system admin or tech worker type could do it...very unlikely. One, they typically wouldn't not how to get that the useful info even with the raw files in front of them. Second, it's encrypted and you need the system to unencrypt (typically), and third, they don't have time for that shit either. Unlike a file clerk, they also have good, high paying jobs they are unlikely to want to risk.
"The problem" is that it is none of their fucking business!
You can't control them asking. You can control your answer. You have a solution to the problem within your reach. If you're too stubborn to simply say "no I don't" when asked if you have guns, that's on you.Last edited by free; February 28th, 2017 at 08:48 AM.

Re: Florida doctors can ask patients about guns, court rules
No, it's never "on me" when my government allows and even encourages anyone in authority to intimidate and compel me to even think about lying about my rights and freedoms instead of telling them "none of your business". It's on them.
But even so, lying about it ignores the ultimate end game to such questioning. The future goal of course is to statutorily tie gun ownership with a threat to personal and public health. If Obamacare or any type of state controlled health insurance/healthcare are allowed to remain and metastasize, it will eventually render penalties and fees to the health insurance policies of gun owners under the guise of paying for the negative societal effects of guns, with insurance fraud charges(a felony) levied on anyone accused of trying to hide or lie about(or refusing to answer) whether they own guns. We can see this playing out on a daily basis with democrats whining about CDC gun research being throttled and from our past Surgeon General making his case on how guns should be treated as a personal and public health risk.
It's just another tool in their arsenal to intimidate and get around the 2nd Amendment in order to restrict gun ownership. The only missing piece of the puzzle preventing them from aggressively getting to the next level is universal gun registration. That is their holy grail and they will be relentlessly pursuing it at all cost, but they certainly don't need it to at least put a chill on the desire of many to own a gun.
This relatively benign questioning from a doctor, nurse, or medical assistant is actually the insidious and nefarious nature of liberalism playing itself out for the ten thousandth time.
The notion that this line of questioning should be allowed or put up with should be fought to the bitter end. We can control what they ask. The Court got it wrong.Last edited by TSimonetti; February 28th, 2017 at 10:17 AM.
