But what...Private persuasion is all well and good.<br /><br />But what if you get your doctor through Obamacare. What if the doctor, in response to your refusal to answer gun questions, refuses to treat you, and, because it's Obamacare, you can't get another doc?<br /><br />Isn't that state action instead of private persuasion? bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541153566289316156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-22980431174736157712017-02-16T21:38:04.618-05:002017-02-16T21:38:04.618-05:00Yes to freedom of speech in your first sentence.

And that it's perfectly fine for doctors to refuse service based on your refusal to answer the question?<br /><br />So does this mean I can start asking employees if they are black, asian, white, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Mormon, gay, lesbian, or Democrat and refuse to hire them if they won't answer?
