What does your 'voting' status - have to deal with your health/doctor's visit?

That's plain arrogance on tha part of the receptionist. She does not deserve to stay a minute longer on the job.

Uh, what? That's a heck of an assumption to be making. In what world does "I'm not an immigrant" equal "I'm an illegal immigrant?" My mind. It is blown.

That was a weird question for a doctor's appointment. It's like asking you about your teeth but what you want to do is buy shoes! The receptionist was judgmental. I want to know if you have informed the doctor about it or would that be bad?

No I have no clue. i would make sure I get a complaint to whoever is in charge and ask what the hell any of that has to do with it and why this ignorant receptionist assumes you are an immigrant.

Why are they asking about your voting status? It has nothing to do with your health. There is something strange going on there and it probably has to do with Homeland Security.

Maybe its just the matter of whether you are a citizen or not. They are just asking for some proofs and documents..to proceed with you. If you have had any other voter id, you could have suggested it to them..or else Any other document. And I suggest you to go check this same thing with the people who have been living there...they could help you out by letting you know certain rules and regulations about that place.

Voting should have nothing to do with your health.

Maybe they are just pushing people to remember to vote. Maybe they figure you must be an immigrant if you have registered. What is up with assumptions? Hmm.

Something is "fishy" here, i would report this to the proper autority.

Why has she asked if you are an illegal immigrant. This sounds a stupid question and I cannot understand why she asked if you are a registered voter. Weird question.

At my last dermatologist visit, they had me update some paperwork. On one of the forms, it asked for my social security number. I told the receptionist it is a violation of federal law to ask a person for their social security number. She told me they needed it for identification purposes. I again told her that it is illegal to use a social security number for identification purposes, other than for the purpose of collecting social security. She told me that without the number on file, they couldn't provide service to me. I wrote down a fake number, took a picture of the form, gave it back to her, and told her I would be reporting them to the Social Security Administration. By the end of my visit, the office manager stopped me and apologized and told me they were changing the forms immediately to remove the question about the social security number. She pleaded with me not to turn them in. I told her I was still reporting it, but if they truly did change their form like they said they were going to do, then they should have nothing to worry about when the Social Security Administration pays them a visit!

That sounds massively inappropriate!

It shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Her questions reek of discrimination.

lol illegal immigrant. seriously what is wrong with people :D

That is ridiculous! I've been asked if I have traveled to certain countries recently, but that is to make sure I haven't brought in the plague or something like that.

I think it is the election that is engrossing everyone's mind.
