I don't get it. Haven't patients had the "option of speaking with their doctor about how they want to be treated......"? What a crock! and isn't this bill already messin' with Medicare and it's payments to doctors and hospitals? This bill is one big screw up!

I wonder why they just don't extend Medicare to those who are uninsured? Why do they have to turn the whole system upside down and form a whole new bureaucracy?

This has nothing to do with better health care, cheaper insurance, more competition, or covering everyone, it is strictly a government power grab.

No one should countenance any bill that has back door legislation with tactics in stealth like this and the recent so-called Hate Crimes bill that was attached to defense spending.

The American people are not being "represented" by Congress, but "managed" coercively and manipulatively. (Neither is this a partisan thing).

So....what do the people do!!???

I say we try once again to vote the bums out. But what do I know?
