Hal Scherz: Dear Patients: Vote to Repeal ObamaCare - WSJ.com
"Our patients have always expected a certain standard of care from their doctors, which includes providing them with pertinent information that may affect their quality of life.
Because the issue this election is so stark—literally life and death for millions of Americans in the years ahead—we are this week posting a 'Dear Patient' letter in our waiting rooms.
The letter states in unambiguous language what the new law means:
'Dear Patient: Section 1311 of the new health care legislation gives the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and her appointees the power to establish care guidelines that your doctor must abide by or face penalties and fines.
In making doctors answerable in the federal bureaucracy this bill effectively makes them government employees and means that you and your doctor are no longer in charge of your health care decisions.
This new law politicizes medicine and in my opinion destroys the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship that makes the American health care system the best in the world.'"
