Whether or not anyone likes this question is irrelevant. This is a free speech issue. The legislature cannot dictate to doctors what questions they may or may not ask their patients. If you don’t like the question don’t answer it–or answer it partially or vaugely–or just tell the doctor you don’t care to discuss the subject. But you cannot forbid the doctor to ask any specific question.
This bill–or law if the governor signs it–is unconstitutional and will ultimately be thrown out, if necessary by the Supreme Court. Shame on the legislature for wasting the time and money of the people of Florida on this nonsense.

REGARDING:
“And Kathy, this article has nothing to do with open carry. What are you ranting about? You need to upgrade your tin foil hat”

While I disagree with the proposed bill, it IS hurtful when those who attack others make fun of our lower state of evolution. We have feelings too.

Horrific and Kathleen,
You have way too much faith in doctors judgment to determine who may be a mental patient based on a visit. Doctors are human too, they make huge mistakes. Under your reasoning the doctors should ask if the odd acting person drives a car. Yes they do! Put them in a data base and declare them a risk to society on their medical records! How does this help the patient? Not at all, it is a data base of suspected risk, not proved. A guilty until proved innocent policy. And Kathy, this article has nothing to do with open carry. What are you ranting about? You need to upgrade your tin foil hat.

Are your knuckles dragging on the ground? When someone walks into a doctors office and sound as though they may a psych. problem, and maybe real paranoid, not enough to have been court ordered into a psych hospital but scary enough to worry, they might want to know if there are guns in the home. If your child is stating that when your drunk you bring out your guns, the doctor might want to know. Why would you want to open carry a gun unless you have thoughts of killing or harming someone? Got a rattle snake at the local bar? Got a grizzly bear chomping on a steak at Fran’s?

@JIM W

I READ YOU AND you make a very good point. Thanks!
One thing I don’t want is anymore insurance in my life. Our health
insurance has just notified us that there is only ONE drug store
where they will pay for our medicines. Now I have to change drug
stores because they say so, sure sounds to me like the fix is in somewhere.
I’m getting real sick of insurance companies RUNNING MY LIFE.

Old Soldier said.

No wonder most doctors with good common sense don’t join the Florida Medical Association (or the AMA) – too many democrat socialists and social engineers trying to BE the Nanny State.

So your saying Evers is a Democrat socialist? No, he is a Republican.
