This would be amusing if it wasn't so serious. I'm sorry but just who are these people talking to? Doctor, patient? I pay insurance for medical coverage and the insurance company makes all the decision, regardless of what the doctor says needs to be done. Me and my doctor can talk about my health until we are both blue in the face and the bottom line is still the same, insurance company makes all the rules and all the decisions. There is no such thing as the doctor and the patient deciding what is the best course of treatment should be taken. This is so lame. Is this the best the GOP plans to pull out to make the average citizen fear a government sponsored health care plan? Then they've already lost.
