Who's Holding Doctors Back?

We still hear a lot about how health care reform will interfere between a doctor and a patient.  We hear that people (government, Obama, Nancy Pelosi, what have you) shouldn't substitute their ideology or opinion in a way that overrules the choices that doctors make.  We're told that the government, as empowered in HR 3200 and the Senate Health Education Labor and Pension bill, or in HR 676, the Medicare for All bill, will just get in the way.

Interesting.

This video first made the rounds of the Web this time last week.  At the same time, there was a meeting in the Senate of representatives of physician groups which, in aggregate, totaled 450,000 doctors.  If you really value your doctor's judgment, you should watch this:

Oh, and that's not all.

HR 3200, the America's Affordable Health Choices Act, has been officially endorsed by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians, the American College of Surgeons, the American Medical Association, the American Nurses Association, the American Osteopathic Association, the American Psychiatric Association, Doctors for America, the National Medical Association, and the National Physicians Alliance.

I'm not a mathematician, but that's a @#$% lot of doctors.

So who's really interfering with the health care choices made and prescribed by doctors?  Who's interfering with their ability to determine what's best for their patients?  If you're working against the passage of health care reform this year, isn't the answer -- well -- you?
