My problem with doctors is when they ask you if you're depressed. If you answer yes they can us this against you later on. For example you could lose your 2A rights or custody of your kids. Obama care is just another invasion of your privacy. |

Quoting: indiandave Obama care is just another invasion of your privacy. I agree completely. I mean they have all my personal information, being my doctors office. I imagine even my email address somewhere. I didn't sign anything, so I see no harm. I wouldn't answer yes to questions regarding depression etc. |

Geesh. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42965494 I would have said that if I was really bothered by it. I wasn't really overly concerned. Just found it odd that Obama Care would be involved in my health care since I am not enrolled. Other insurances that I don't have don't ask for any info about me. |

Sometimes when a telemarketer calls and asks for the owner, or even by my name, I say no sorry, he's currently in jail for shooting a telemarketer. I got a call at work years ago. I had won a trip. I knew the catch would involve a credit card, so I responded by telling her I could use a trip. I am broke, making 2.13 an hour waiting tables, and I don't even have a bank account or credit card. Only the waiting tables was true, and the wage. She hung up. Another time around that period I got a call at home that I won a car. I told him no thanks, I have a car. He got really mad and told me it's mine. I told him I was sure there was a way to pick a new winner. He was still yelling when I hung up after offering him an alternative, deliver the car. |

Yup...I was asked all of the above. I've been going to this pediatrician for years and none of these questions were asked prior to them being forced into electronic filing which coincided with Obamacare. |
