Conservative Physicians Organization Sues to Overturn Reform Law
March 31, 2010
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a nationwide conservative physicians' organization, has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the new health reform law, according to a report by the Arizona Daily Star.
"The healthcare plan, as passed, means the end of private medicine and private insurance and it will force everybody into costly plans that will be like the mother of managed care," said Jane Orient, MD, executive director of the Tucson, Ariz.-based group.
Dr. Orient predicted costs will go up, waiting lines will grow and doctors will be "constantly answering to bureaucrats and filing forms" under health reform.
