I have a radical idea: why not leave medical decisions up to doctors and their patients, rather than government? (Isn't that what opposition to 0bamacare is all about?)

That isn't why we oppose socialized medicine, and doctors don't make the laws, or else doctors in Florida would be banning guns for their patients, and giving abortion on demand.

Who's "we" - you and the mouse in your pocket? That has indeed been stated as a reason to oppose 0bamacare. (What is your reason?)

That's stupid, even for you - doctors can't ban their patients from doing anything.

Abortion kills an unwilling victim - marijuana use does not.

Oh, no?

"federal bureaucrats will tighten their belts, and committees and boards like IPAB will restrict services. The problem with this approach is that it not only compromises quality of care, it also hamstrings doctors who believe that medicine is an art, where different treatment choices work for different patients. This is becoming more and more apparent at a time when our most effective — and expensive — new treatments are targeted therapies that respond to genetic abnormalities. Since everyone’s genetic signature is different, approaching illness and treatment from this perspective defies the one-size-fits-all insurance model that Obamacare perpetuates.

"Doctors will flee, not only because of shrinking reimbursements amid the ever present worry of frivolous malpractice suits, but because our options for treatment will become so restricted that we will no longer be able to practice effectively."
