Almost everyone involved in health care will tell you that the greatest problem in our system is that we pay on a "fee-for-service" basis. Almost everyone is wrong. Fee for service is not the problem, but FFS in a third party payor system. Only in health care is there someone else picking up the tab for our spending.
If we applied the same third-party payment technique to any other segment of the economy we would get the exact same inflationary spiral we see in health care.
Docs 4 Patient Care Texas Chapter leaders, Jane Hughes, MD, and Kris Held, MD, independently produced this short video which refutes the claims made by Democrats that US Representative Paul Ryan's plan to save Medicare will hurt America's senior citizens. As we've demonstrated throughout this website and our social media pages, the only legislation that will weaken and destroy Medicare "as we know it" is the president's PPACA (Obamacare). As the doctors explain in this video, Obamacare calls for the cutting of $575 Billion out of the Medicare program and places unaccountable healthcare decision-making in the hands of the new Independent Payment Advisory Board.
D4PC finds this video provocative and informative and we are proud to promote projects that re-introduce the healthcare reform discussion and which provide the public with the viewpoint and perspective of the nation's "practicing" physicians.

This week marks the two your anniversary of the passage of the PPACA (OBAMACARE). The White House recently held a meeting with more than 100 left-wing organizations who support the government takeover of American healthcare. As this memo leaked from the meeting shows, the progressive left is engaged in another tax-payer funded public relations blitz in order to persuade the American people to embrace ObamaCare.
The information below will dispute their claims how ObamaCare helps women. The Left states that ObamaCare: prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage to women due to preexisting conditions, gives women preventative care such as mammograms and birth control at no out-of-pocket cost, and will prohibit insurers from charging women higher premiums than they charge men. Let's examine these claims individually:

As if our taxpayer dollars weren't going towards enough wasteful government spending projects! Now it has been revealed that they are going towards a campaign to bolster President Obama's failing health care plan. Judicial Watch filed yet another Freedom of Information request, this time to see just how much of our money is going towards the Department of Health and Human Service's "education" campaign (which is geared towards brainwashing the American people into believing that ObamaCare is actually a good idea). Among the documents they obtained were an Aquisition Plan entitled, "Independent Government Cost Extimate," which sets a $200 million limit on television, radio, print and online communications. That's right: $200 million of our money is going towards these ObamaCare ads that are misleading at best and downright lies at worst.
