Doctor’s ‘I will not comply’ Obamacare break-up letter getting incredible praise from her peers

A Texas ophthalmologist and co-founder of AmericanDoctors4Truth tore down the curtain on Obamacare last week, describing President Obama’s “signature” legislative achievement for the con game of forced labor that it really is.

When she wrote to the Aetna insurance company canceling her participation in its offerings, Dr. Kristin Held of San Antonio was informed she is contractually bound to care for the company’s patients for another year — as though Obamacare not only re-configured the American health care system, it repealed the 13th Amendment at the same time.

In her letter dated Jan. 30, the long-time and vocal opponent of Obamacare wrote that the “law of the land” Obamacare is made up of “politically-expedient mandates, rewards, penalties, rules and regulations with which I cannot rationally or morally treat my patients and run a practice, much less interpret, implement or comply.”

In the letter, Held describes a strange form of care in which a doctor’s services are sold without the doctor’s knowledge or consent.

“So here we are,” Held wrote, “you are getting new business offering health insurance plans featuring my services without my consent under terms which are unacceptable to me …

  She wrote about being called a "provider" instead of a doctor. "Provider" just sounds impersonal. It must be the current communist lingo for doctor. A doctor is a special individual who sees a patient as a real person and I think that the government resents this sort of relationship because it interferes with the level of control that the government has over the individual. In a free country, a doctor will always be referred to as "doctor" or "physician." There's a very good tv show that's been popular for decades and it's not called "Provider Who."

I think we can take that to the bank.

I think you spelled that word wrong, I thought that in this context it was always “titology” with Laz.

A provider is any one who provides healthcare services. Doc Nurse Practioner, PA, counselors, psychologists, chiropractors, anyone who is actually provides services, either covered or uncovered by insurance.

My eyes! My eyes! I want an ophthalmologist!

Note that I didn't say I NEED an ophthalmologist.

[DoughtyOne]

Wants and needs come very close to merging if you time it right. LMAO

[KoRn]

“Provider” is a perfectly acceptable term in healthcare. I know this for a fact, because I happen to be married to one.(Nurse Practitioner)

[La Lydia]

Agree, but really. Who knew the wages of sin were bad hair, horrible clothes and fashion victimhood? Also, conservative women respect themselves.

We need ObamaLaw.....everyone one needs free attorneys to defend themselves like rich people!

[DoughtyOne]

Remember that one photo of the haggard Hillary in the Senate? Wow. Now that’s a bad hair, makeup..., well everything day.

Conservative women respect everyone, that deserves it.

Liberal women respect almost no one, even when they do deserve it.

Yeah, “provider” is a nice fudge word that hospitals and insurers can use to dazzle the patients. I went to Medical School, NOT “Provider” school.

Hope the doc is clean on her taxes cause she’s gonna get audited.

Wouldn't Tort reform be easier/cheaper/more-effective?
