Docs4PatientCare's Dr. Paul Hsieh had an article published at Forbes.com discussing the issue of who should control your healthcare spending. There are really only two choices. You can either control your own healthcare dollars, making your own informed decisions (just like you do in so many aspects of your life) or you can cede control to government bureaucrats.

In Search of the Healthcare We Want
Friday, April 06, 2012

It's Not Just The Mandates: Obamacare's Other Infringements, PJ Media
Friday, March 30, 2012
“Unexpected” cost overruns are nothing new for government programs. When Medicare was passed in 1965, it was predicted the program would "only" cost $12 billion by 1990 (it actually cost a whopping $110 billion per year by 1990, nearly 10 times more than predicted).
The rapidly rising costs of ObamaCare will likely far outpace the amount by which Medicare exceeded its original cost estimates. But the soaring economic costs of ObamaCare will pale in comparison to the escalating losses of freedom.
The infringement of personal freedom receiving the most attention lately has been the “individual mandate” which requires Americans to purchase health insurance. This issue is at the heart of the current legal challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court. Lost in the debate, however, is the fact that ObamaCare also poses numerous other mandates, controls and burdens on patients, their doctors and employers. Read more about these burdens in an article from D4PC's Dr. Paul Hsieh, here.
