Count me among the doctors strongly opposed to ALL of the plans for healthcare reform I’ve seen coming from Congress or the White House. It is beyond belief that the Government can provide more care to Americans (and non-Americans) at a lower price. They should not hold out Medicare as the ideal on the one hand, while saying we must destroy the system as it is because Medicare is almost bankrupt. My two cents are 1- reform Medicare and Medicaid to show us that it can be done. 2- Allow interstate sale of health insurance. This must be the easiest, lowest cost alternative, which is of course, why it isn’t on the table. As an aside, it will be interesting to see how the lawsuit to allow seniors to opt out of Medicare will proceed. Sara Hartsaw, MD, FACS Gillette, Wyoming
