The Affordable Care Act

Try this link http://www.healthcare.gov/law/full/ to read the full health Affordable Care Act. I haven't read the whole thing. I have skimmed portions of it, and the reconciliation portion. I like the titles of the sections and the subsections. Generally they seem okay, positive, going in the right direction. I think in a law this big, there has got to be hundreds of objections to any part of it. It is an easy law to rag on, no matter what your political persuasion. For instance- there is a section in the reconciliation part (that's where the house version and the senate versions are reconciled into one act that both houses agree on) that deals with wellness to prevent health problems. It speaks of programs to diminish smoking, addictions, obesity, etc., and then out of nowhere:

‘‘(c) PROTECTION OF SECOND AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS.—øAs
added by section 10101(e)(2)¿
‘‘(1) WELLNESS AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS.—A wellness
and health promotion activity implemented under subsection
(a)(1)(D) may not require the disclosure or collection of any information relating to—
‘‘(A) the presence or storage of a lawfully-possessed
firearm or ammunition in the residence or on the property
of an individual; or
‘‘(B) the lawful use, possession, or storage of a firearm
or ammunition by an individual. 

And there are several more sections about this. I said "What the...?" The second amendment is all over the place. I wonder what it really costs in health care. Probably not that much in the scheme of things. I would imagine, most of the activity in hospitals relating to that amendment is in the ER, and after that in the morgues. So that probably is small compared to the effects of smoking, drugs, and obesity. But why, of all the wonderful provisions in our Constitution that safeguard us, is it necessary to put a special protection in this law for gun owners. You can bet that if there was a violation of that right, the Supreme Court would definitely overturn the ACA. So if that right is safeguarded in the health care act, it should sail through the Court with the backing of all the judges. Our lawmakers really had it right this time.
