Someday, the idiots whose votes put Obama in the WH and made the Dems the majority in Congress are going to regret what they did.

Does this stinking bill have every conceivable means of pissing off primary care doctors?

The Democratic fantasy that they can campaign on this bill provisions demonstrates their fundamental insanity.

Obama wants folks to die of untreated cancer ~ just like his mother.

He's not mentally fit to be in a position of authority.

Now, regarding the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They appear to have some sort of physical presence at: http://directory.psc.gov/os/8.html

This stuff is insane. No one will make any effort to abide by the law, nor should they when it is simply mad ravings set on paper.

What if they gave a government and nobody came?

First, thanks for posting the entire article. Way too much unnecessary excerpting and posting just two or three sentences by lazy drive-by FReepers.
Now, I'm thankful none of these regulations kick in for a few years. Maybe I'll die between now and then.

Here is a concrete example of the bias for generalists that may impact many individuals. There are two choices for screening colorectal cancer: colonscopy by a specialist or sigmoid scope done by a generalist. The colonscopy is 3 to 5 times more expensive but it covers the entire length of the colon and has the ability to remove polyps. The increased cost is due to the expertise of the physician, the instrument cost, the assistant administering sedation, and the location in a hospital outpatient area. My physician wanted to use the sigmoid scope on me. I refused because the sigmoid scope only covers half of the colon, my physician does not perform the procedure often, and no sedation is available. I have been told that the procedure is very unpleasant. Do you want government officials to force the sigmoid scope on you?

Insanity.

Rationing is what the dems are using despite all their denials.

If I take my husband out of the country for treatment and pay for it myself, will that be forbidden?

These “medical home” provisions referenced in the US House plan disincentivizes primary care doctors form referring out patients to specialists. The obvious catch 22 for primary care provider is that they will still be held to the same high medical standards of care. This leaves them wide open to failure to diagnose lawsuits when they fail to order a laboratory test or MRI scan. Specialists provide a greater percentage of care than when this failed model was tried in the 1980s with HMOs. Patients will be denied a higher quality of care according to the specialist standard of care. Now what standard of care will trial lawyer demand for their “injured” clients?
The dilemma for primary care physicians will be your money or your licence.

There goes DBS for Parkinsons and Type II Dystonia. There is no other way to say this. This is a death panel. A very sadistic death panel.
