Otherwise, there is no point in asking.

Just as it’s in the news this week that overdoses have killed more people than mobile crashes…

But can we also discuss how many times you’ve missed a diagnosis? Because estimates are that 250,000 people a year die in the US from medical errors. And there’s only 30,000 deaths from firearms. So which is more likely to affect me?”

Anything less than that and its a loss and is not only a loss for Trump and his chances of being reelected but a great loss for the people of America. Pelosi will in time be seen as being the purely politically motivated animal and is holding the people of America hostage.

I believe you suggested that Trump will “trade the second amendment for the wall”? If that or something other than what I have described happens due to Trumps folding and capitulating then its all over. Trump has got to hunker down and refuse no matter what to sign anything unless he gets his $5.7 billion dollars, 1/10th of 1 percent of the budget for the security that we all want and need.

All of the Democrat leadership have previously voted for much more than $5.7 Billion for border security and must be dragged to the reality of their own words. Trump knows what he must do, this shut down has the potential to be months long?

Trading the second amendment for a wall? I think not.

No one blinked an eye. Good doc. We conducted concealed carry classes in my cardiologist’s board room for him, his EMT wife, and other docs. Wonder how appalled the Boston moron would be at that?!

The anti-gun doctors won because of the First Amendment. Now mayor of Boston wants to compel speech. I’d like to see him try.

Free healthcare, it’s just one pill. Dr. Obama recommends it.

To truly resist you stand up and say “I will not participate in this offence to freedom and my privacy”.

To go the easy way and deceive your oppressors is another thing entirely. And I understand the strategy, you just want to get done what you need to get done and go home.

Its in the banks right now, every time I go to my bank now, even though they know who I am and that I am a commercial customer I am required to present my I.D.. I am certain it is a part of the Patriot Act.

And it infuriates me! I call it prison bank. So impersonal and institutional, and that is the trajectory we are on.

This is now “Bank policy”, I have considered changing my bank but the inconvenience and expense causes me to just provide what the computer asks the teller to ask for. The computer can ask the teller to do anything and they must comply, much like the doctor will be required to do. You do not properly answer the computer and there will be a problem. “Im sorry sir but I can not take your deposit, give you healthcare, sell you groceries, fill your tooth etc, etc if you do not answer the questions.

The line approaches, who will refuse to allow it to advance?

I would leave and seek care elsewhere, in another state if need be.

Increasingly, I consider it my patriotic duty to deceive bureaucrats and their agents. Why should I be truthful to the enemy of my fellow citizens?

“Dr., respectfully, you are wasting my time and your time by asking me these questions, I have no comment one way or another on them. Can we now address my healthcare and why I have come to see you today?”

If the state was to mandate such questions and they were ignored by the citizens that were asked them, what measures might the state then take to enforce its mandate?

A slippery slope if there has ever been one.
