Doctors: New Health Care Plans Raise Red Flags

[slipslidingaway]

18. The media, including the so called liberal media, decided not to cover the whole story...

and many docs tried to speak up. Even Obama's personal physician of 15 years plus was initially invited to the WH town hall meeting and then was uninvited at the last minute. But Obama did call on the CEO of a major insurance company during the White House TH meeting, Ron Williams of Aetna to speak ... where as his personal physician Dr. Quentin Young was left out when his question was about universal HC.

Are you so blind as to not know who gets access to speak and who does not?

Even with the original WH summit on HC, the kickoff conference so to speak, the proponents of a national HC were literally left outside the gates of the WH.

You really need to pay attention.

My daughter was accepted to med school during the whole HC debate and is now a third year resident and we've co-signed for her med school loans. Shortly afterwards my husbands was diagnosed with MDS/AML and has had a bone marrow transplant. So we've seen this from both angles.

My daughter enjoys her time rotating between hospitals, most of all she enjoys her time at the VA because she does not have the pressure of 'billing time' for insurance purposes, she can take the time she needs with patients. This month she is on the oncology ward, not a great subject, although she did speak of a 35 year patient who was recently diagnosed with AML and who had started induction chemo, somethings are just too close home ... been there, done that.

Sometimes I read comments from people and just have to wonder if you have a clue, from a patient perspective, a doctor's perspective or a caregiver's perspective?
