OBAMACARE DECLARES WAR ON

 DOCTORS

53,463 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

The worst fears about Obamacare are now being realized in a decision on Monday by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MPAC) established by the law to supervise $500 billion in Medicare cuts.  MPAC, whose decisions have the force of law, has voted to impose drastic pay cuts on all doctors under Medicare and, by extension, under Medicaid (which tends to follow suit).  The cuts will effectively reduce the real pay for specialists by 50% over the next ten years — including a 25% reduction over the next three years — and cut general practitioners’ pay by one-third over ten years (and that assumes that inflation stays down at 3% a year).

MPAC has ruled that specialists must accept a 6% cut in their fees per year for each of the next three years followed by a seven year freeze in their fees without any adjustment for inflation.  If inflation stays very low — at 3% per year — this cut amounts to an 18% cut in nominal pay and a 50% cut in real pay for specialists.  General practitioners will face a ten year freeze on their pay, reducing their real compensation by one-third assuming ongoing low inflation.  Higher inflation, of course, would make the cuts in real pay even more drastic.

The consequences of the MPAC decision will be immediate and drastic:

* Many physicians, and many more specialists, will refuse to treat Medicare patients.  It will become very, very difficult to see a cardiologist or an oncologist or a gastroenterologist or OB-GYN specialist if you are on Medicare unless you are willing to pay out of pocket or have the kind of health insurance coverage from a private source that would reimburse for their care.

* More and more medical care will be turned over to nurses or physician assistants, and fewer people will ever get to see a doctor on Medicare.

* Private health insurers will follow in the footsteps of the Medicare program and likely slash their fees as well.

* Fewer students will enter medicine, and a major shortage of doctors will reduce the quality of medical care in America drastically.

The MPAC cuts will bring American doctors’ incomes more into line with European doctors who typically earn half or less of what their American counterparts earn — and deliver worse medical care as a result.

We have got to stop these MPAC cuts from taking effect.  The very future of Medicare and of our entire health care system is at stake.  If they are allowed to stand, Medicare will become akin to Medicaid or public housing — a program for poor people who cannot afford to pay for medical care from specialists outside the system.

Please take a moment to sign the attached petition asking Congress to overrule the MPAC decision.  Providing quality medical care and preserving the Medicare program is something that can reach Republicans and survival-minded Democrats, but we need to raise a storm of protest!

The Hastings Center is a non partisan research institute dedicated to BIO-ETHICS & the Public Interest since 1969.  The Hastings Center Report (published bi-monthly, explores the ethical, legal, and social issues in medicine, health care, public health, & life sciences.

Emanuel is a bio-ethicist and has written extensively about medical care:

1. Who should get it
2. Who should decide if they get it
3. Who’s life is worth saving
4. thinks the ”Hippocratic Oath”  is out of date in our modern world and blames it for the “overuse” of medical care
5. and thinks the USA  has the best medical care system in the world but that it costs too much,
6. and wants to reduce the cost
7. and believes that the physicians duty is only to provide care for the greater good of society, not to the individual patient

This sounds like Communist doctrine from China, Russia, Cuba and Venezuela.

Anton Chaitkin, a historian and History Editor for the Executive Intelligence Review, a recent panelist at a Hastings Center discusses  the revival of EUGENICS under OBAMA’S  health care proposals through the denial of care of millions of Americans who would be judged; NOT FIT TO LIVE,  just as in NAZI Germany.  See the u tube video below.  The parallels of the Hitler’s Eugenics Program in the 1930 s and the open and avowed philosophies of Obama and those he has surrounded himself with are ominous.   Dr. Emanuel escapes more questions and exits this forum ASAP.   (This u tube video below  is experiencing some techincal problems; we hope they are resolved whe  you click on it)
