WE CANNOT HELP our government FIX the HEALTHCARE SYSTEM because [to them] it has nothing to do with healthcare reform. WE DOCTORS NEED TO BYPASS GOVERNMENT AND TAKE CONTROL of the HEALTHCARE SYSTEM! Form the NATIONAL CONGRESS of PRACTICING PHYSICIANS (NCPP). The people of this country will support us! Schedule a national meeting-all doctors invited, only practicing physicians can be elected. It would be the only way to do the RIGHT THING FOR THE PEOPLE AND BUILD CONSENSUS AMONG PHYSICIANS. The government CAN'T DO S**T WITHOUT DOCTORS. We can control this. We should control this process because WE HAVE THE TRUST OF OUR PATIENTS- OUR PATIENTS KNOW THAT WE ALWAYS WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM! Even if we don't all agree on the politics WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT OBAMGRESS IS INCAPABLE OF DOING IT RIGHT! Think about it - NATIONAL CONGRESS of PRACTICING PHYSICIANS (NCPP) .....first national meeting in the 1st week in January. Even if they pass heathcare reform--they can't do it with out us- -if physicians unite as a national congress representing our patients and ourselves--transparently, we will be supported by everyone. I participated in the 9-12 rally, and I can tell you that the 1.5-2 mil people there were protesting government reforming healthcare (public option) as much as anything else! ONLY PHYSICIANS CAN REFORM THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RIGHT! All practicing physicians will come together and elect a congress of physicians that will work together for the benefit of our nations health. We will put our heads together and hammer out an healthcare reform proposal that will be better than any other, and done for all the right reasons- -out in the open-for all to see.
