(NaturalNews) If you needed another reason to avoid visiting a doctor, Obama just gave you a new one: as part of Obama's 23 executive orders announced today, doctors will be transformed into gun control snitches who are ordered by Obama to ask patients about guns they might have at home.

Here's the doublespeak from the executive order text:

Doctors and other mental health professionals play an important role in protecting the safety of their patients and the broader community by reporting direct and credible threats of violence to the authorities. But there is public confusion about whether federal law prohibits such reports about threats of violence. The Department of Health and Human Services is issuing a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits these reports in any way.

What this means is that doctor-patient confidentiality is now history. Even worse, doctors are being pressed to start interrogating patients about whether they own guns so that this information can be reported to the government. This is all being done under the cover of so-called "gun safety" but it's really about turning doctors into devious government spies who conduct covert patient interrogations under the cover of providing them with health care. Once collected by the government, this information will then be used to seize guns from those individuals under some kind of mental health designation.

Editorial note: If your doctor asks you if you have a gun, whether you own one or not, you could say,"Doc, I don't want to lie to you, yes and no". If everyone answered this way, the process can be crippled without a single lie or revelation to the Federals. How can this be a doctors "need to know"?  It's just another Obama abuse of power, another potentially impeachable offense.
