Universal healthcare will allow them a say in:
1. What you eat.
2. How much you weigh.
3. Whether you own a gun.
4. What kind of car you drive.
5. An automatic excuse to raise your taxes.
6. The Sex Education of your children.
All of the above can be reframed as health care issues. Probably a few more that I haven’t thought of.

A bit off topic, but as a nurse in training, we are not being educated to “screen” patients for owning firearms and keeping them in the home — the idea being to “prevent’ you from harming yourself, if you become depressed.
I say — if they ask you in a physical history exam if you own a gun ...don’t even say yes. It’s personal info they have no right to know. Screw ‘em.

A bit confused on your reply, are they training you ask about firearms in the home?
My company is moving to a health plan that has a mandatory wellness program, where they draw your blood do a physical and history. I’m a bit concerned how this information is gong to be used and by whom.
