Jane M. Orient, M.D., Executive Director of the
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, issued the following statement today after HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' testimony before a Congressional committee:
"Secretary
Sebelius states that the Affordable Care Act, which can't produce a
functional Web site, is going to fix the 'delivery system.' Once people
get corralled into Obama-compliant health plans, doctors will be
automatically made smarter, more efficient, and less costly. She herself
must be Wonder Woman. One day, she says they really needed six years to
do the Web site, then she claims it will be fixed in only six weeks!
"Can
incompetence really be this gross? Or is the true objective being
achieved? Do they really want more uninsured people, more Medicaid
dependents, and the wreckage of both private insurance and private
medicine?
"Obama’s supporters appear to think that there is no
problem with breaking clear promises, like being able to keep your
health insurance, if you can just change the meaning to 'you can't keep
the insurance you like, but you'll be able to buy something we like for
twice the cost.'
"If Obama can rewrite the law as he likes, why
stop with delaying the employer mandate and forcing still more people
into the individual mandate? Can he go all the way to single payer, all
by himself?
"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS) filed suit today to challenge Obama's violation of the
constitutional separation of powers by legislating from the White
House."
