Is THIS really what Americans want?

Hi Tasine!
That's why they got the nickname "Czar". What Americans want? They probably figured the pro's always are looking out for their best interests. But with so many more expected to be insured, this is a tell that HHS expects a high demand and scarce providers will reduce quality. No one is comfortable being regulated over their quality control procedures or "mechanisms" but they'll get used to it. Yeah, there will be a lot of wasted time from HHS quality orders but there may be a some good ones. This ensures the temptation to cut corners due to high workload will be balanced by the threat of being deemed an unqualified provider by the Czar's orders. Will the Czar bar routine mammograms as this MD congressman fantasizes? I doubt that fantasy is anything but pure political posturing.

FTA
Section 1311(h)(1)(B) of the health law gives the secretary of Health and Human Services blanket authority to dictate how doctors treat patients. Not just patients in government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, but patients with private plans they pay for themselves. On Dec. 2, 2013, we learned from the Federal Register that the rules are now being written. Starting in 2015, insurance companies will be barred from doing business with doctors who fail to comply. The rules will be offered in the name of ensuring "health-care quality," which of course could mean anything.

"The powers given to the secretary are so broad, he or she could literally dictate how all physicians nationwide practice medicine," warns Congressman Phil Gingrey (R. Georgia), himself a physician. Gingrey is sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 1311(h)(1)(B). Otherwise, he says, the HHS secretary - a Washington bureaucrat with no medical training - could, for example, bar doctors from doing routine mammogram screenings until female patients turn 50. In short, the federal government will be calling the shots on what patients get.

Tasine, why is not Section 1311(h)(1)(B) of the ACA included? The same thing has happened with people complaining and accusing about "death panels": the section is never included. I will look it up but this kind of post by Gingrey, failing to quote the section in question, does not go to building rapport with the two sides but rather planting seeds of division.


Curious, and disappointing: how many needed to peruse Section 1311(h)(1)(B) to determine for themselves what it actually said and if there were not more to that story in other sectors and provisions? Do you see presenting this thread in keeping with your other thread calling for honesty? Did you not find the omission of the pertinent section as somewhat--really, grossly-suspicious? All these sections are interdependent. Even if that section had been accurately quoted (an imperative to such a discussion) it may not tell all or even a small part of the story. It's total absence speaks volumes.
