Thanks for the link. Looks like it was put in there to prevent the data collection that is being mandated by Obamacare with the move to electronic medical records.
They didn't want gun owners being unfairly discriminated against.
And it was only for wellness programs and prevention programs, not mental health programs.
So now all doctors for any reason can ask if you have a gun.
Wonder if the data collection under Obamacare is changed as well.
Well I hope their data collection system have 3 answers..yes, no and none of your business.
That means your dentist can ask you if you go in for your preventative cleanings.

Because gun owners are afraid to have anyone know they have a gun.
Joe........Not bad I've had a cough and just want to check it out.
Doctor.........So do you have any guns in your home??
Joe..........Why I'm here about a cold not a gunshot.
Doctor..........Really? Well I'll have to note that in your chart.
Joe...........Why?
Doctor.........Oh don't worry you'll just be added to the "list". Here are some cough drops see you at the re education camp since you don't want to answer my questions.

Yes, I remember when that started happening in Nazi Germany... except they were asking patients if they liked other men or had Jewish grandparents, not if they owned guns.
Still, that *might* have crossed the "paranoia line"... just saying.
Ironically...the Obamacare legislation specificlly bans doctors from asking if people have guns in their homes. Perhaps someone should actually read it.
No it does not. Question for you Toyman; how do you reconcile saying that people should actually read something, when you didn't read it and make a false statement about it?
Section 2716(c), as added by Section 10101, prohibits insurers from collecting and disclosing gun ownership data for the purpose of determining premium rates. It has nothing to do with preventing doctors from asking if patients have guns in their homes.
Obama is averaging an Executive Order every 8 days.
For anyone who's paying attention to that sort of thing.
He's averaging 0 days of a House that wants to even acknowledge him, much less negotiate.
