DJP Comment: Check out the links in my tweets below, especially those on the new law, PPACA, “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (P.L. 111-148) as amended by the “Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010” (P.L. 111-152). In the end, as I have stated many times, it won’t increase quality, won’t decrease cost, and won’t increase access. And watch for another run for the “Public Option”. Eternal Vigilance!

LAGNIAPPE: Dr. Jack Beller of Oklahoma is running for the state Senate in Oklahoma. Many of you know Jack from the AMA House of Delegates. I worked with Jack in Oklahoma during my AMA presidency when I toured the USA advocating for medical liability reform. Jack would pick me up at 5:30 am each morning and drive me to the radio stations to debate plaintiff attorneys about liability reform.
It would be great if Jack gets elected. Here is what Jack wrote me when I learned he was running for office.
“The enactment of Health System Reform at the federal level has also placed tremendous burdens on the various state legislatures to get it enacted. State legislatures are going to need an even higher level of medical sophistication then ever to get these reform mandates done right. We cannot, for the sake of our patients and ourselves, afford to let the legislatures get it wrong. It is primarily for this reason that I have decided to become a candidate for the Oklahoma State Senate.
“The timing of this election is a moving target right now. We have term limits in Oklahoma, and my Senator, Jonathan Nichols (District 15 – north and west Cleveland county and north McClain county) exhausts his ability to serve in 2012. BUT he is right now running for a District Judge position here in Norman with the run-off in November. If he wins, which it appears in all likelihood he will, his seat will be vacant then, and there will be a special election within 90 days. I need to be ready to GO on almost an over-night basis. There are 4-5 others talking about running when the time comes. I already have my campaign established with my own money, but I’m trying to build enough of a campaign fund now that some of those potential candidates may realize between now and November that it is too steep a hill to climb to be able to wage a successful campaign against me.
“Please go to my campaign web site, www.drbellerforsenate.com, for more information and an opportunity to financially support this campaign.”

Good luck, Jack! And I hope he gets support from medical colleagues.
Stay well,
Donald
