Congress, Attention! Words of wisdom from CEO #SMA Ed Waldron re #PPACA http://tinyurl.com/4rz4kjx #hcr #Dems#tcot #teaparty

EXCERPT FROM BEGINNING:

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. . .Refine, Rework or Repeal?

In conversation between physicians and in weighing their reactions to The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as well as the published opinions of those organizations which are supposed to represent them, you will find a prevalence of certain specific negative or positive parts of the Act.  In many cases these references are valid and important considerations.  But in the case of the PPACA before you consider individual pieces of the Act, there are overwhelming considerations which are the sum of the specific positives or negatives and which are the most valid reasons for rejecting the Act, such as:    Get It Done! But Do It on Principles Which Appropriately Define These Deal Breakers.”

  1. Unconstitutional applications of government power
  2. Assault on individual rights of choice
  3. Assailing free market principles
  4. Insidious redistribution of wealth

Physicians or their associations do not seem able to elucidate the basic concerns as noted above.  For the so called “common good” these principles are being sacrificed by policy makers and wonks on either side of the aisle.  The Act, as passed, has the “earmarks” (no pun intended) of the “nose of the camel under the tent,” and is part of a slippery slope which assaults basic freedoms upon which this country was built.

etc…….

Stay well.
