CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN *OUR COUNTRY*?????



Letter to Senator Bayh ... health care
-----These are some of the things that are not being made known UNLESS you
take time to read the more than 1,000 page document:

An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill (Note: Dr.
Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis ,
IN ). Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh. Feel free to copy it and
send it
around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser


Senator Bayh,

As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill
before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the
brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the
patient-physician
relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration
patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health
care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we
need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently
making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.

I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the
following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot
possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the
country and our fellow
citizens.

employers that self-insure!!*

Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform
patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills
you and your colleagues are debating.

Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the
country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything
in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.

Respectfully,

Stephen E. Fraser, MD

Dear Reader,
I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power that
may soon be taken away) and circulate this email to as many people as you
can reach. The Power of the People can stop this from happening to us, our
parents, our grandparents, our children, and to following generations.
