Abbott: Obamacare interferes with doctor-patient relationship

[grilled onions]

3. And How About The Insurance Companies and THEIR Interference?

You go to a doctor for a problem. He says I will write out a script for "A" but then some punk who took business classes to qualify for his "medical" role in the insurance industry refuses that drug. He has no idea of a patients history,sensitivity to alternative choices etc. The doctor has to make substitutions all the time. The doctor says you should have a certain test or even surgery. He doesn't mind a second opinion but the insurance company comes along and balks at the cost and makes you take unnecessary test before you can take the one the doctor wants you to take.
Yet here they are trying to say that the government is trying to restrict your doctors orders. Where have they been when this refusal game has gone on for years?????
