Number two refers to a specific clause in the affordable health care act that protects patients from intrusive questions about guns. Looks like he wants to eliminate the ONLY good thing in that act. I’ll bet he and Polosi are ticked that it got in there.

HIPAA requires that medical information is to be kept confidential from anybody without the patient's consent. It may be that the administration intends to allow information about the "diagnosed" mental instability of an individual to made available in a background check.

Given the left-wing bias of the APA, it won't be long until everybody is diagnosed with some type of unprovable impairment that would exclude them for lawfully possessing a firearm.

That clause in the Affordable Care Act does not prevent Drs. from asking. It prevents Drs. and Insurance entities from creating a database with the answers and using such data to deny coverage or increase premiums. They can ask all they want. See EO #16.

#2 is about trying to loophole\bypass HIPPA privacy. That may take a bill from congress.

#16 is also kinda scary.
I went to the VA and they asked me if I owned any guns.
I said “HUH?
They said they could ask but I didn’t have to tell them anything. I’m guessing that will be the gist of # 16.

but the rest seems like Obama bailed.
Most of that stuff is somewhat in place in some form or another.
