[null and void]

Let me guess... government bureaucrats get to decide who is "permanently unstable?"

Of course! Who is better qualified?

An important decision like this should never be left to a trained psychiatric professional! (Unless, of course, said trained professional is utterly pwned by the government, say by a nice fat NSA file chock full of embarrassing personal details and legally actionable items...)

[TigersEye]

No need for an NSA file and personal blackmail if the government could just control all aspects of a doctor's business including billing rates, diagnostic parameters, prescribing parameters and testing parameters.

In comes 0bamaCare and Viola!
