stimulus or death

There are many people that want health care to be run by the federal government. This people say would lower costs and provide health care to everyone (that sounds wonderful doesn't it). What if the federal government would limit experimental cancer treatment or would say that that treatment is not covered because it is not cost effective. I know many of you would say that is not possible and they would never do that well see for yourself. There is a sentence in the Bloomberg report that says basically "Americans are expecting too much from the health care system " I don't think we expect too much..... Being healthy (disease free) is not expecting too much. Here is a Bloomberg report laying out want could be in our new stimulus package. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_mccaughey&sid=aLzfDxfbwhzs

If this does go through I would encourage everyone to be proactive in there health. The best cure for any disease would be to prevent it, and the only way you can do that is by treating your body the best that you can by eating right, exercising, and lowering stress. If you are in any way concered by the article you should contact your representative. For me, I do not know if this is really going to happen, but as a health care professional I have already seen too many programs that take the doctors decision making out of the equation. When you take power away from the doctors (especially decision making) you are not going to get the best care..... No matter if it is free....... Your partner in health Dr. Nathan
