This Forum on Health Care will consist of a panel of medical professionals and others on both sides of the Health Care reform debate. The purpose is to exchange real ideas for reasonable reform that preserves liberty and choice for the individual.
Seats on the panel may still be available for professionals favoring government-run health care; suggestions are welcome.
This forum is open to the public at no charge. It is a non-partisan event; no signs or clothing displaying a point of view will be admitted. Security will be provided.
It would be great to see you there! SF
Welcome to DR. STU'S BLOG. Along with my podcast at www.drstuspodcast.com it is here that I post my thoughts on a variety of topics on the birthing world. Advocacy for true informed consent and respect for individual autonomy are the basis for the musings you will read here. I hope you enjoy while you learn and I encourage you to comment. Please check out www.birthinginstincts.com for information on home birthing with an obstetrician and my latest news and updates.
I was disappointed to see this quote above, "Seats on the panel may still be available for professionals favoring government-run health care".
ReplyDeleteNo one is proposing government run health care! The public option, and even single payer are government run insurance. Health care providers will still work for whoever they work for now when either one goes into effect. The only thing that will change is who they bill.
Referring to either the public option or single payer as government run is inaccurate and misleading. I fear that this health care reform is unlikely to offer a real debate on health care reform if misinformation is being distributed in its advertising.
While the dilemma of who health care providers work for now versus who they really should represent is another issue, your point, Jessica, is respected. However, I believe there are those who support government run healthcare and their ultimate goal is to have choices dictated by panels and regulators and not patients and doctors. It will not matter who they bill if the care is not "approved" first. SJF
