Those who oppose reform will also tell you that under our plan, you won't get to choose your doctor - that some bureaucrat will choose for you. That's also not true.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't necessarily want my physician making all my decisions.
The fact of the matter is right now politicians and insurance companies are making decisions. We're saying we want doctors to be making decisions. And I think that will lead to a higher-quality, lower-cost system over time.
Obamacare is bureaucrats getting between you and your doctor, and that's what Americans most dislike about this legislation.
Every time I hear a Republican talking about health care reform, they say the American people don't want it. They say it so much that I think they're beginning to try to convince themselves that it's true.
I am opposed to anybody making a decision for you or me or anybody else about what health care plan we should have.
I don't want anybody between a doctor and a patient - not an insurance company bureaucrat or a Washington bureaucrat.
Michelle and I don't want anyone telling us who our family's doctor should be - and no one should decide that for you either. Under our proposals, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance. Period, end of story.
Residents of my district continue to stress to me that they want health care decisions to be made by patients and doctors, not by the government and insurance companies.
I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors, not accountants.
As a practicing physician for over 30 years, I can assure the president that the majority of physicians in this country are for health-care reform - just not the government-run reform he prefers.
