Sex, drugs and ObamaCare: Doctor questions get personal

[stevo]

Please clarify how this relates to the thread?

DSM-5 (formerly known as DSM-V) is the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In the United States the DSM serves as a universal authority for the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders.

Sorry kid, you are not going to be able to be pointed to Wiki or at an opinionated article by a self appointed professional on this one, do as I recommended and research it YOURSELF, or continue to claim the foolishness of your favorite liberal website.

By the way, the DSM-V and the DSM-5 are the same thing.......

The original article is an Op-ed. You brought up DSM-5. If you don't care to show how it is related I won't bother to think about it further.

Dad's last visit to his internal medicine doc, several new personal questions were asked. When dad told him where to stick it, the doc stated it was part of the "affordable care act" and is required under Medi-care. Dad promptly told him to stick it again, the doc made some notes, and dropped it.

Nice follow up. Did it lead to any further problems or done deal?

So, if it requires you to research and bring about your own conclusions you rather remain ignorant of the facts? It appears you ARE the typical liberal.

He acted like there were no repercussions for not answering. He goes in again in December and we'll see then.

Deny what? Sexual questions are something new brought in by Obamacare? or Sexual questions are a routine part of doctor questions unrelated to Obamacare? I have no doubt these questions were asked, as you said, to your relative.

I'm 32. I've only been asked about my sex life once in 32 years, and it was a legit question from my Urologist prior to having a vasectomy. These questions are now routine questions asked by your PCP. You do the math, Einstein.

Ah oh, He's blacklisted now.

I guess basketballjones is burning up Wiki and moveon.org looking for ways to spin my comments earlier...

In a New York Post op-ed, McCaughey claimed that the health care law will "turn doctors into government agents" by requiring them to ask supposedly "intrusive" questions about their patients' sexual history. McCaughey's op-ed, which cited no evidence to support her claims

McCaughey offered no evidence for her claims that the ACA changes existing practices. In fact, despite her fearmongering, sexual history questions are routine medical practice. The Centers For Disease Control calls such questions "an important part of a regular medical exam or physical history" and recommends that "[a] sexual history needs to be taken during a patient's initial visit, during routine preventive exams, and when you see signs of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)." In fact, the very questions that McCaughey claims doctors will now be pressured to ask are the exact questions the CDC recommends doctors ask their patients.

McCaughey has a long history of fearmongering about the ACA. Not only was she responsible for launching the "death panel" lie....

What lie? HHS was willing to let a little girl die because she was on the wrong organ list
