    You don't learn anything if you don't do your own homework.

    I would recommend a women's GP with a specialty in women's health with a clinic attached…I find this is the most useful way to have all my needs met. :)

    This is written from a Doctor

    First off the government has involved very few of us physicians in
    the healthcare debate. While the American Medical Association has
    come out in favor of the plan, it is vital to remember that the AMA
    only represents 17% of the American physician workforce.

    They think they know more then the People who are in the business of health care. what a screwed up Government

    If you really believe what you’re saying then I assume you’re refusing medicare for yourself, your parents and grandparents. Are you enjoying being a pawn of the for-profit healthcare industry? It’s a shame, because they don’t give a rat’s ass about you. Just develop a catestrophic disease and you’ll find out. Sorry, but you’re an idiot and have no real moral compass. Our country is doomed.

    Yet, “We, the People” are the government. We all pitch in and help each other when the situation becomes larger than we can handle, i.e.: building roadways or educating kids or keeping the country solvent or making sure all Americans can stay healthy. If the government is not the answer, then neither are the American people, for we ARE the American government.

    First of all the comments re: “death panels”, get informed, there are no death panels, never were never will be. Second, no one is touching your lousy health insurance that will drop you like a hot potato when you develop catastrophic illness.
