WHY DO THE FEDS NEED THIS INFO?

My son broke his finger a few months ago. I had to take him to a follow-up with the hand specialist yesterday. The lady at the check-in counter apologized as she handed each patient a new form that was required by the Federal Government because of the Obamacare law. Remember this is a hand doctor. Here is what they wanted to know about my 15 year old son:

Race
Whether he was of hispanic origin ( I guess this is when you can become a white hispanic – aka George Zimmerman)
His smoking habits – in very detailed terms (never, sometimes, daily, etc.) – WTF does smoking have to do with hand injuries?
Allergies
Medications being taken

The lady clearly stated that this info was not being requested by them, but the Federal government. Is a database being created that will call out hand doctors who don’t serve enough black people?

Well, as a person 58 YOA and victim to many hand injuries, I can attest that a hand is an extremity and blood circulation to exremities is constricted when smoking. So If it is going to take an extra doctor visit or two with the extended healing time, It's good to know right up fron, to save money, if the hand should be treated or just cut the f___ off. We hope you understand...

Just lie about everything like the liar in chief does with every breath.
That is exactly what I intend to do on any government form from now on. Whats good enough for the potus and the senate majority leader is good enough for me.
