#1 Why Doctors Are Worried....because the government will now remove 'privacy' and get between the patient and her/his doctor and critical decisions. Paging Roe, Paging Wade, government courtesy phone pick up.

#3 very art of medicine that I rely on

Correct me if I'm wrong, Dr. Steve, but the above statement strikes me as something we - society, medical practice, legal practice - have lost track of over the last few decades. That is, that medicine is an art as well as a science. The diagnoses don't always come from a urinalysis and the treatment isn't always some magic potion - effective medical diagnosis and treatment requires two-way communication between patient and doctor, and that communication takes time.

#6 Somebody call the Wahmbulance. Doctors are going to have to put off buying the third house and the Porsche until next year. Oh, drat!
