Anything you say to your doctor can be used against you

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your doctor, along comes Sen. John McCain to snatch certain defeat from the jaws of victory. David Limbaugh has the scoop today in the Townhall.com column entitled Don't Give Obamacare a Life Raft. I had hoped after the election that McCain would skulk away, having violated his oath too many times, but especially egregiously with the McCain-Feingold "Campaign Finance Reform Act." But no, here he comes again, riding to the rescue of Leftists everywhere with a proposed lighter version of a single payer health plan. At this point, the best they can hope for is something they can call "health care reform" which will serve as a marker for future efforts towards a single payer system.

We can not let this happen, if we want to maintain even a shred of our liberty. Imagine going to the doctor and being given a Miranda warning.

OK, so Miranda warnings may be harsh. But you should realize that the most intimate details of your life may be probed, and will surely end up in a Federal database, where someone may use it, perhaps illegally, to discredit you at some later point in your life. Think of all the attention"Joe the Plumber" got from someone illegally going into his State of Ohio files and pulling stuff out to use to discredit him during the campaign, all because he asked the One a question. The press, because it fit their agenda, happily reported the information despite knowing of its illegality (and that the story should be exposing that illegality.) Doctors have a way of asking seemingly conversational questions like "so how was your weekend" then writing down all the details, harmless as they may be at the moment, to be memorialized in the Federal medical records database, there to come back to haunt you when you least expect it. It might be wiser to deflect the question than to answer "I was loading ammunition this weekend."
