Representative Flynn Announces Plan to Protect Doctors From Federal Mandate
|
AUSTIN
- This morning Representative Dan Flynn (Van-R) announced he has begun
working on proposed legislation that would directly address the
Administration's Executive Action Item, #16, 'clarifying the
Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients
about guns in their homes.' Representative Flynn is very concerned about
mandates coming from the Federal Government in efforts to require
doctors to make certain inquiries.
"It
seems everywhere we look we are finding more and more attempts by the
federal government and our current administration to inflict a
totalitarian type state on our country," reacted Representative Flynn
Wednesday evening. "I am outraged that a patient doctor relationship has
become anything more than a relationship based on the management and
continuation of individual health and well-being.
The fact that this administration is trying to circumvent above and
beyond their jurisdiction, into the private homes and property of
Americans and their families, by encouraging doctors to inquire into the
patients living arrangements is disdainful and should not be tolerated.
Doctors know how and what to discuss with their patients. My proposed
legislation would work to not only preserve our individual liberties by
restricting unnecessary meddling by federal officials, but it would more
importantly also protect the integrity and professionalism of good
doctors."
Representative
Flynn confirmed he will be working and talking with the Texas Medical
Association and has already spoken with various small, independent
practices located in House District 2. "My hope is for my friends in the
medical industry to show me how I can help protect them from this
invasive federal mandate," stated Representative Flynn this morning.

When my daughter went in for a minor ear surgery several months ago, I remember 2 or 3 ridiculous questions. I don't recall what they were right off hand, but i totally remember telling my husband 'Get a load of these question on this survey'. I didn't answer those particular ones which were irrelevant to any type of medical anything. I also recall telling the nurse (when she asked if I had filled everything out) I didn't answer them b/c, respectfully, that was none of their business. Man! I wish I could remember what those questions were now. Just one more question to add to the list of those I don't answer...
