If you’ve been watching the news, you know that the U.S. Senate could vote on a “repeal and replace” health care bill, as early as next week.
But as always, this poses a certain danger for gun owners.
After all, I’m sure you know how medical information has been increasingly used in this country to impact our Second Amendment rights.
Just ask the 257,000 law-abiding vets who have lost their guns because they went to the VA for treatment.
Given this dismal record, it shouldn’t be hard to convince congressional Republicans who ran as supporters of the Second Amendment to make sure that their ObamaCare “repeal and replace” bill does not adversely impact guns.
So GOA is insisting that any comprehensive federal health package must make sure of three things:
1) Insurers cannot ask about gun ownership, or feed that information into a federal database, or discriminate or deny insurance to gun owners;
2) Federal mandates, that doctors keep digital records in a federal health database, cannot be used to force doctors to compile a federal health database; and,
3) The ATF must not be allowed to troll the federal health database for names that it could submit to the NICS list.
