This letter appeared in the Indianapolis Star (which is owned by the same people who own the Arizona Republic) and was sent to a very popular Indiana Senator.  This just goes to show everyone what pressure
these Democrats are currently under, so continue to let them know how you feel about the healthcare bill.

An  Indianapolis doctor’s letter to Sen. Bayh about  the  Bill (Note: Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an  anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, IN  )   Here is a  letter  sent to Senator Bayh..

Feel free to  copy it and send it around to all other  representatives. —  Stephen Fraser

Senator  Bayh,

As a practicing  physician I have major concerns with the  health  care bill before Congress. I actually have read  the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the  government’s proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea  that the government  will dictate and ration  patient care is dangerous and certainly not  helpful in designing a health care system that  works for all.

Every physician I work with  agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making  their way through congress will be a disaster if  passed.

I ask you  respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have  read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe  that these proposals are in the best interests  of the country and our fellow  citizens.

Page 22  of the HC Bill:  Mandates that the Govt  will audit  books of all employers that  self-insure!!

Page 30 Sec 123  of HC bill:   THERE WILL BE A GOVT  COMMITTEE  that decides what        treatments/benefits  you get.

Page 469:  Community-Based Home Medical Services =  Non-Profit  Organizations.  (Hello?   ACORN Medical Services  here!?!)

Page 489 Sec 1308:  The Govt will cover marriage and family  therapy.   (Which means Govt will insert itself into  your marriage  even.)

Page  494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing  those services.

Senator,  I guarantee that I personally will do everything  possible to inform patients and my fellow  physicians about the dangers  of the proposed  bills you and your colleagues are  debating.

Furthermore,  if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the  doctor-patient relationship, I  will  do everything in my power to  make sure you lose your job in the next  election.

Respectfully,

Stephen  E. Fraser, MD
