Health Care Reform Means You and Doctor Will Make Health Care Decisions
According to the American Medical
Association, the Medicare Rights Center,
AARP and leading newspapers, the major
plans under consideration in Washington
put medical decisions in the hands of
you and your doctor.
As the AMA clearly has said, “The health
reform plans being debated in Congress
ensure that health care decisions
will be made by you and your doctor - no
one else.”

- AARP: Reform Ensures You
and Your Doctor Will Make Health
Care Decisions. In a fact
sheet on reform, the
organization writes, “All of the
health care reform plans
currently being debated in
Congress would ensure that you
and your doctor are the ones
making decisions about your
health.” [AARP
Web site]
- Government Bureaucrats
Will NOT Come Between You and
Your Doctor. In a Q&A on
health care reform, the St.
Paul Pioneer Press writes,
“Is it true that government
bureaucrats will come between me
and my doctor? Answer: No. Under
health care reform, most
Americans will continue to have
private health insurance. And as
is the case under the present
system, the only bureaucrats who
could come between you and your
doctor are insurance company
representatives.” [Pioneer
Press, 8/1/09]
- Medicare Rights Center:
No Bureaucrats Will Come Between
You and Your Doctor. In a
fact sheet on reform, the
Medicare Rights Center writes,
“The government will not come
between you and your doctor as
you make health care decisions
together.” [Medicare
Rights Center, accessed
8/18/2009]
