ObamaCare Gives Government Power To Intrude On Your Privacy

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Section 2716 of the Obama health law bars the government from making doctors or hospitals collect information on who owns a gun.

Suddenly this little-known provision tucked into page 776 of the law is provoking outrage from gun opponents objecting to the National Rifle Association's political clout.

In truth, the NRA should be applauded for insisting on privacy protections in the Obama health law. If the American Medical Association and patients' rights groups had fought as hard and successfully as the NRA, all patients would enjoy privacy protections.

Under ObamaCare, you don't have to worry that your gun ownership will be recorded in a national medical data base accessible to thousands of eyes. But you do have to worry who will read about your sexual shortcomings, IQ, depression, bouts of alcoholism, mastectomy, family medical history and other things you confidentially tell your doctor.

The Obama health law requires you to enroll in the one-size-fits-all "qualified" health plan, and then gives the federal government unlimited authority over doctors, hospitals and nurses paid by that plan.
