Even if it doesn't apply to why you are visiting the doctor.
Obamacare will question your sex life | New York Post
Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?
Be ready to answer those questions and more the next time you go to the doctor, whether its the dermatologist or the cardiologist and no matter if the questions are unrelated to why youre seeking medical help. And you can thank the Obama health law.
This is nasty business, says New York cardiologist Dr. Adam Budzikowski. He called the sex questions insensitive, stupid and very intrusive. He couldnt think of an occasion when a cardiologist would need such information but he knows hell be pushed to ask for it.
The presidents reforms aim to turn doctors into government agents, pressuring them financially to ask questions they consider inappropriate and unnecessary, and to violate their Hippocratic Oath to keep patients records confidential.
Embarrassing though it may be, you confide things to a doctor you wouldnt tell anyone else. But this is entirely different.
Doctors and hospitals who dont comply with the federal governments electronic-health-records requirements forgo incentive payments now; starting in 2015, theyll face financial penalties from Medicare and Medicaid. The Department of Health and Human Services has already paid out over $12.7 billion for these incentives.
