ObamaCare won't save the economy, it won't make health care more affordable and it won't cause us to live longer, healthier lives.
The "primary function" of Obamacare is to take your power to make your own health care decisions and to give that power to the ruling class. Don't take my word for it:
President Obama's Medicare chief, Dr. Donald Berwick, explains, "Traditional medical ethics, based on the doctor-patient dyad must be reformulated...The primary function of regulation in health care, especially as it affects the quality of medical care, is to constrain decentralized individualized decision making.
Translation: "You're not in charge of your health care. Your doctor is not in charge. We are."

Thanks for posting this and linking to that interesting article. I put it up on TCL FB with a link to you.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, RK. Happy 2011.
Thanks TCL! Happy new year.
This is what we get for demanding that health care be a "right." Most will learn too late that it's a "wrong."
Well said RK, but it could be shortened to two words....It sucks.
This one sentence says it all.
'This says that physicians must consider "the needs of society" in their clinical decisions.'
The only thing that is 'individual' in Obamacare is the mandate... for the good of 'society'...
Best we can do at this point is to defund this POS.
