Here is my Op-Ed on IPAB on 3-19-2012 in the Daily Caller and why IPAB needs to be repealed now.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/19/repeal-ipab-now/
You can read the entire article at the link above. Here is the last paragraph of the Op-Ed:
In short, seniors’ health is too important to play politics with, even when the political goals are commendable. Speaker John Boehner and Majority Whip Eric Cantor must do all in their power to remove IPAB from the books as soon as possible and still pursue larger efforts to repeal the whole Affordable Care Act because of its pernicious effects on the practice of medicine.

The vote to repeal the 15-member, presidentially-appointed committee, known as the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) occurred today in the House of Representatives and it passed with 7 Democrats joining. See my retweet of Dr. Burgess tweet below.
The bill’s author is Congressman Phil Roe (R-TN), a physician. In addition to IPAB repeal, the bill contained the following medical liability reform: “The House bill also included a provision to impose a $250,000 cap on noneconomic damages and to limit the contingency fees lawyers can charge in medical malpractice cases.” Plaintiff trial lawyers are working against that provision!
Both items in this bill are AMA policy approved by the House of Delegates. Here is an article: http://www.modernphysician.com/article/20120322/MODERNPHYSICIAN/303229991/ama-applauds-house-passage-of-ipab-repeal-bill?utm_source=articlelink&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=TodaysHeadlines

And next week, one of the most important issues ever to go before the United Supreme Court will have 3 days of oral arguments re PPACA. In short, it is all about Liberty and how far can the Congress go in dictating what Americans must do. You already know my opinion as to what I believe the Court will do.
Stay well.
Donald
