Tom Coburn and John Barrasso Talk about Health Care Costs, Transparency, and the Baucus Bill
By
Description: In this episode of “The Senate Doctors Show” Sen. John Barrasso, MD, (R-WY) and Sen. Tom Coburn, MD, (R-OK) answer health care reform questions about Democrats writing a health care reform bill behind closed doors, the costs of government health care, and how reforms would affect the supply of doctors. Republicans want real reform that’s transparent, lowers health care costs, and doesn’t add to the debt.

The public option will put Small town Hospitals out of business and cause a shortage of Doctors and quality care. These bills do nothing to deal with high cost and will cost consumers even more while reducing quality and access to care.

C’mon Coburn…the whole bill needs to be scrapped and you know that. I am going to lose my healthcare as it stands today under obamacare Obama is a skilled wordsmith – any existing private plan is going to be frozen under obamacare. Private insurers will not be able to build a better product for their customers (THAT WOULD BE ME!!!!!) and eventually be driven out of the marketplace. What will be left – a third world healthcare scheme where people pay out of pocket for back alley medicine.
