16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

They may ask. My response will be no. It's none of their damn business if I own firearms.

And a small aside to this. The other day at the podiatrist's office they were asking various medical questions. One of which was. "Do I wear a seat belt while riding in an automobile." My response was. "What relevance does this have on my treatment?"
