ATTENTION:
This is truly shocking! If there is any doubt that Democrat lawmakers want the federal government to take over your health care and to create a system where a federal bureaucrat can tell your doctor how to practice medicine, consider this:
Tonight in the House Energy & Commerce Committee markup of H.R. 3200, “The Affordable Health Care Choice Act of 2009,” Democrat lawmakers passionately argued against a simple amendment that would have prevented federal employees from “dictating how a medical provider practices medicine.”
Here is the actual text of the amendment they rejected:
“(k) Construction - Nothing in this section shall be construed to allow any federal employee or political appointee to dictate how a medical provider practices medicine.”
The amendment was defeated! You read correctly. The majority rejected this simple amendment!
If you want your doctor to be able to “practice medicine” without being told how to do so by a federal employee, I urge you to get involved in this debate NOW!
Discussing this with your friends, family, and your Member of Congress is not enough. It’s time to call your doctor!
Demand to know:
1) Is he or she a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), which is in support of the bill?
2) Is he or she aware that Democrat lawmakers rejected this simple amendment?
3) Does he or she agree that a federal bureaucrat should be able to tell him or her how to “practice medicine?”
4) Has he or she spoken out in opposition to this outrageous bill?
5) Is he or she telling patients they oppose the bill?

Also, please share this e-mail with your family members, friends, co-workers and medical providers.
Sincerely,
John Shadegg, Member of Congress, Dist. 3 Arizona
