re: #325 Lynn B.

Do you understand that all this provision does is add to the data already required to be reported by health care providers under the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative which was part of the 2006 Tax Relief and Health Care Act enacted, obviously, under the Bush administration?

It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the government making medical decisions. NOTHING.

We aren’t talking about specific provisions, at least not all of us, we are talking about the rationing of care that will be decided by the government instead of the marketplace. Such rationing will be making decisions affecting what care we get. No one seems to address this. If I am told I can’t get a test, or have to wait for x months for a test, or can’t get a second opinion, or any of the other snafus on the long list of complaints we hear from Canada or the U.K. will I be able to get it on my own if I am willing to pay for it? Canadians have always had the option to come here and many do. Where will I go?
