If our so-called leaders have their way, you will soon be able to drive your Government Motors (GM) automobile down to the government doctor's office.
Never mind that the government mandate for a "unique health identifier" eliminates privacy for your confidential medical records. Pay no attention to the fact that electronic medical records are covered by the Orwellian-named "medical privacy rule" that allows government officials and state-favored special interests to view your private medical records without your consent.
Don't worry. Government doesn't want to run auto companies or health care. Government-approved health insurance is for your own good, and won't lead to price controls or limitations on the services you can receive from your doctor.
Your doctor won't opt out of receiving government money by becoming a cash-only office and leave you scrambling to find a new doctor.
No, everything is just fine.
Now get back in your Government Motors vehicle, drive down to the government doctor and wait in line. The doctor will be with you as soon as possible.
Remember, Big Brother and big government know best. Does the above sound appealing to you? If it does not, please consider supporting HR 2629 Coercion is Not Health Care Act and HR 2630, the Protect Patients' and Physicians' Privacy Act.
