Anyone know where this group got $6M? They were not a well funded group historically, and have mostly been in the mailer business. That's almost as much as their entire budget last year: http://207.153.189.83/EINS/953580834/953580834_2010_07e7d459.PDF

I have a feeling they are a front for someone.

I don't know why it still amazes me that there are groups campaigning for stuff that is completely opposite to their best interests.

"I don't want anything to come between my patients and me - especially Washington bureaucrats," she says.

But the insurance companies coming between you and your patients, they're fine.

LOGIC!

Excuse me, I'm feeling the urge to hug my Japanese National Health Insurance card again.

Well, the insurance companies aren't going to directly try to keep their astronomical costs and grab for extra testing and services down. They're going to go the easy route and simply refuse to fund those services for their less wealthy patients. I swear to God any doctor who supports a private employer-related system of health insurance is a greedy bastard who's more concerned about their bottom line than their patients.
