As the healthcare debate heats up further, fuel has been added to the fire when an expose revealed that legislators were voting for the bill based on party lines without every having read the bill!

Wise up everyone!  There are many key issues within the bill that not only smack of dictatorship, they ARE the forerunners of dictatorship when it comes to our “new” society.

A recent letter written by Dr. Stephen Fraser is worth reading and circulating.  Please read it and discuss it with your friends.  Contact your legislators while you still can!

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 I 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.

and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)

Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding  living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. (And it’s mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an “approved”  list of end-of-life resources; & nbsp;guiding you in death. (Also  called ‘assisted suicide.’)

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
