Actually, guns have been a “health” issue ever since the Feds started putting their oars in at the time Hillarycare was being proposed.
When I have my annual checkup, I have to turn in a form that asks me numerous questions, including whether I smoke, how much I drink, whether I have throw rugs in the house, and whether I have any guns in the house.
The gun question was clearly connected to the persistent liberal efforts to ban guns, one step at a time.
My doctor is a very good guy, but I think these questions are mandated. And they are required to submit the results on-line to the gubbermint.
My days of civility are over I would tell my doctor to eat shiite and die, none of your business.
Oh, it’s just us nasty paranoid guncrazy rightwingers who think Obamacare will turn your family physician into a government spy.
Wait a sec - patients’ responses are uploaded online? And failure to answer the gun questions could result in “this patient displayed a hostile attitude” being noted?
I think we’re already there.
I think the doctors are required to ask, but how can we be required to answer???

Under Obamacare, that is illegal:
