Medicare Manacles - The Healthcare Reform

By Constitutional Attorney Jonathan Emord
Author of "The Rise of Tyranny"


The Health Care Reform law is destined to make universally applicable the coverage criteria used by Medicare for Medicare beneficiaries. That is particularly bad news for physicians who value their independent professional judgment, and it is disastrous for patients who expect their physicians to cater to their interests rather than the insurance carrier’s. The President’s bill makes monopolies out of health insurers, makes them proxies for government “qualified” services, and replaces physician judgment with health carriers’ decisions concerning the level, degree, nature, and quality of care to be afforded patients.
