Obamacare
I just returned from my PCP and had an interesting discussion regarding the requirements of Doc under Obamacare. Anything disclosed even in confidence has to be input into the electronic database.
What this means is it has consequences if you tell your doc you are an alcoholic (I have refrained but skated around this).
I pay for all my therapy sessions in cash - if you use insurance there is a history.
What does this mean? Well, in my case I have several relatively large insurance policies - one guaranteed the others not. Pre existing and disclosable information come to mind. Licenses: Firearms, Pilot, SCCA.
I am not providing advice or suggestions, I am merely pointing out that data is being collected and while it may sound very good to disclose everything to your doctor, under law they are having to disclose this to the Government and who knows who else.
