Just what the doctor ordered

Local doctor Will Nicholson, M.D. wrote a great piece and I think you should read it, Here’s a waste of health care dollars: Refuting myths.

In health care, we vow to “first do no harm.” If only politicians had to make a similar promise.

As a family physician, I’ve spent a lot of time debunking myths about health care that my patients see on the Internet, late night TV or in the back pages of magazines.

I never dreamed I would have to debunk myths about health care from our elected officials and supposed leaders

…Before such people presume to regulate and reform my profession, they should try holding themselves to its ethical standards

“supposed leaders” Here, Here!
Hear, all ye good people, hear what this brilliant and eloquent speaker has to say!

Please feel free to spread or debunk a myth in the comments.

    I heard Obama wants to put a chemical in our soap that makes our arms fall off if we don’t vote Communist.

    I heard that if you try to go to the doctor more than two times a year under Obamacare that Kanye West will come interrupt your appointment. /timely

    I heard that if Obamacare passes Canada will buy America from China for pennies on the dollar yen.

    If Obamacare passes the gov’t is going to take all of our spoons and forks and force us all to go before spork panels.

    The phrase is “hear, hear.”

    @James – If you don’t have health insurance it isn’t.
