Want to keep your health insurance, get rid of the handgun

My wife and I just completed a survey for our group health insurance through my wife's employer. If we didn't complete the survey and have the required lab work done by the December deadline, our premiums would rise $25.00 each. It took about 1 hour each to complete the questions and then the lab work that was done earlier is added to the computer program. The end result is a health profile for each of us that is about 25 pages apiece.
One of the questions in the survey was whether there was a handgun in the house. I tried to skip the question but it wouldn't let me so I answered no. It's none of their business. I asked the wife later what she answered which was of course yes so I started reading her profile to find where the gun came up. In the section regarding home safety she is ranked to be at extreme risk because of the gun and it is strongly "recommended" that the gun be removed.
Wonder if this is a sign of things to come?
