- From a citizen...
-
- The letter below was sent by a physician to Senator
Bayh. He expresses his fears after reading the new proposed health bill
in congress. I didn't believe that it is real because it is unbelievable.
So I searched Google for HR 3200, and guess what. I got
all 1017 pages to read. I didn't, I just verified the physician points,
page by page. All true, all there. Check for yourself.

- Senator Bayh,
-
- As a practicing physician I have major concerns with
the healthcare bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill
and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement
in the patient physician relationship. The very idea that the government
will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful
in designing a healthcare system that works for all. Every physician
I work with agrees that we need to fix our healthcare system, but the proposed
bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster
if passed.
-
- I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to
look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You
cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests
of the country and our fellow citizens.
