Send A Strong Message to
November 6, 2009
Dear Honorable Leaders and Members of the Congressional Blue Dog Coalition:
We are urging you to oppose HR 3962: “The Affordable Health Care for America Act” because this 1,990-page behemoth is -- like HR 3200 -- too expensive, too intrusive, too impractical, and is being rammed down our throats.
We ask that you vote against HR 3962 because it contains so many poisonous provisions -- ones that are patently immoral, arguably unconstitutional, fiscally irresponsible, demonstrably ineffective, and, as recent polls show, politically unpopular in the context of 10.2% unemployment and staggering deficits.
Angry constituents this past summer made it clear to Members of Congress, including the Blue Dogs, that HR3200 was too expensive, too intrusive, too impractical -- and was then being rushed too quickly through the House of Representatives for Members of Congress and their constituents to comprehend the intended and unintended consequences of this bill on our health care system and our faltering economy.
We at Doctors on Strike for Freedom in Medicine were among those angry constituents at Tea Parties, Town Hall Meetings, and internet discussion forums.
We are a grassroots coalition of patients, doctors, and business owners founded on July 4, 2009 to encourage health care reforms that preserve, protect, and promote individual rights and freedom in health care.
Launched four months ago on July 4th, our website has been visited by 9609 times by 8005 people from 2495 cities in 79 countries around the world, including all 50 states in America.
Our message is getting through to Blue Dog constituents, who rightly expect you to safeguard the rights of patients, doctors, and business owners from any governmental intrusion during the health care reform process.
Over 600 people have thus far signed our recently posted “Petition to Protect Doctor and Patient Rights” to urge Congress to vote against any legislation that provides for any:
- Public option,
- Mandates that force individuals to buy insurance coverage,
- Mandates that force employers to provide insurance coverage,
- Surcharges that force some groups to pay for the healthcare of other groups, and
- Provisions that might allow HHS to force doctors to participate in public plans.
About 97% of the petitioners have responded “Yes” to the question: “Should doctors ‘go on strike’ by refusing to participate in any new government-run healthcare plan?”
Another 86% of the petitioners have responded “Yes” to the question: “If ObamaCare is approved, should doctors ‘go on strike’ by stopping their participation in other government-run healthcare plans (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, SCHIP)?”
We invite you to read and sign this petition at http://www.doctorsonstrike.com/petitiontoprotectdoctor-patientrights.html.
If you do not find these arguments against HR 3962 persuasive, we would appeal to your political self-interest to vote against HR 3962 and whatever health care reform bill that might eventually emerge from a conference of both Houses of Congress.
Think about how many different groups of likely voters will be hurt by HR 3962 and angry at you if you vote for HR 3962:
- Voters on Medicare will be hurt by and angry about cuts in Medicare,
- Young and healthy voters will be hurt by and angry about individual mandates,
- Physicians and other health care providers will resent government intrusion into their decision-making and reduced Medicare payments,
- Business owners will be hurt by and angry about the mandate to provide insurance for employees and the surcharge on wealthy business owners,
- Wealthy voters will resent the surcharge on their income taxes,
- Groups of voters targeted for increased taxes to fund HR 3962 will resent these taxes, and
- Millions of health care policy holders will resent having to pay significantly higher premiums, losing the insurance coverage provided by their employers, or losing access to their doctors as a result of taxes on insurance policies, costly mandated coverage by HHS, and shrinking risk pools.
Think about the possibility that these voters would be so hurt by HR 3962 that Republicans, Libertarians, and Ross Perot-style Independents could easily mobilize them to vote many incumbent Democrats out of office in 2010 and 2012.
Think about the electoral consequences of forcing Americans to buy expensive health insurance while they learn that Congress has failed to address the root causes of rising health care costs.
Think about how -- as our economy continues to falter in 2010 and beyond -- the 2009 Tea Parties and Town Hall Meetings would be dwarfed by a rapidly spreading, Dresden-like firestorm of popular resistance to any more federal intrusion into our lives.
Think about how HR 3962 would be a prescription for economic, health care, and electoral disaster: Surely, a bad bill would be worse than no bill, not only for our economy and our health care system, but also for your political career.
Finally, think about this: A Blue Dog voting for HR 3962 might very well be committing an unnecessary, career-ending act of political suicide.

P.S. We are encouraging patients, doctors, and business owners from all over America to call, email, or fax the Blue Dogs to urge you to reform health care in a fiscally and ethically responsible manner that fully respects the rights of doctors and patients to make health care decisions without any government interference. To this end, we have compiled a list of the 52 members of the Blue Dog Coalition, along with your pictures, Washington phone numbers, and fax numbers.

"The fiscally conservative Democratic Blue Dog Coalition was formed in 1995 with the goal of representing the center of the House of Representatives and appealing to the mainstream values of the American public. The Blue Dogs are dedicated to a core set of beliefs that transcend partisan politics, including a deep commitment to the financial stability and national security of the United States. Currently there are 52 members of the Blue Dog Coalition." (from their website) Click here to learn more...
As a service to our visitors, Doctors on Strike for Freedom in Medicine (http://www.doctorsonstrike.com) has compiled a list of the Washington phone numbers along with a complete list of the Washington and District fax numbers for all 52 members of the influential Democratic Blue Dog Coalition.
Many of these legislators block email from people outside of the district they serve. That leaves us with options of calling or faxing them. The leadership is highlighted in color.
This is a war--one we cannot afford lose! We are all doctors and patients now. We are allies. Doctors on Strike provides the intellectual and political ammunition to win.
Grab a supply of ammo, give some to your family and friends, and get everyone to fire off a message to these Blue Dogs, urging them to (a) be fiscally responsible in health care reform, (b) oppose the individual mandate, (c) oppose the mandate on businesses to provide health insurance, and (d) respect the right of patients to make private, personal health care decisions with the independent advice of their doctors and without the interference of government bureaucrats.

An Open Letter to The Blue Dog Coalition
Dear Honorable Leaders and Members of The Blue Dog Coalition:
As a healthcare professional and the leader of a national campaign to protect the rights of doctors and patients, I urge you to vote against HR3200: America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009.
On July 4, 2009, I founded a new organization, Doctors on Strike for Freedom in Medicine, to take on the mission of preserving, protecting, and promoting freedom in healthcare. We simultaneously issued a Declaration of Independence for Doctors and declared a philosophical and political war against more governmental intrusion into healthcare.
Doctors on Strike is establishing a rapidly growing national audience through our internet presence at www.doctorsonstrike.com, where we supply doctors and patients with the philosophical and political ammunition to fight for their rights. Launched three weeks ago, our website has been visited by people from 756 cities in 40 countries around the world, including all 50 states in America. Our message is getting through to people interested in protecting individual rights in healthcare.
We hope this communication will get our message through to each member of the Democratic Blue Dog Coalition.
Doctors on Strike is based on the principles that:
Doctors and patients have the same inalienable individual rights that all human beings have — the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
The purpose of government is to secure these rights, not violate them;
Rights impose limitations on government;
Government intrusion into healthcare violates these rights;
HR3200 would violate these rights, be fiscally irresponsible, and gravely threaten the viability of the healthcare system; and
Doctors, patients, and elected officials need to act — now — to preserve, protect, and promote individual rights and freedom in medicine.
Our most pressing goal for 2009 is to help defeat HR3200 and other statist healthcare reform proposals now circulating in Washington. To this end, Doctors on Strike is actively encouraging doctors and patients to put intense political pressure on legislators during your deliberations on healthcare reform. We supply our national audience with the intellectual and political ammunition to do this.
We provide links to the contact information on every senator and representative. You should know that we just added a special website page devoted to the 51 members of the Blue Dog Coalition, which provides the names, pictures, and contact information on each Blue Dog. We are encouraging doctors and patients to urge the Blue Dogs to reform healthcare in a fiscally responsible manner and with due respect for the right of doctors and patients.
As the 2010 election cycle approaches, we will identify and publicly support those candidates for elected offices at the state and federal level who champion individual rights in healthcare. We hope you will be one of them.
We will also unhesitatingly identify and publicly target for defeat any candidates who support legislation that violates individual rights. We just created a page on our website, “Targeted for Defeat in 2010,” with this goal in mind.
We recently created a Petition to Protect Doctor-Patient Rights, which will be submitted to Congress and calls on legislators to oppose legislation that provides for any:
Public plan option,
Mandates that force individuals to buy insurance coverage,
Mandates that force employers to provide insurance coverage,
Surcharges that force some groups to pay for the healthcare of other groups, and
Mandates that force doctors to participate in public plans.
We are also encouraging doctors to prepare themselves to go on strike against government-run healthcare programs. We want doctors to let the country know now that, if the President signs legislation to establish a new government healthcare plan, they will refuse to participate in any such plan and will also stop participating in all other government healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and SCHIP.
Our blog, Doctors on Strike, regularly posts news and opinions on healthcare reform. This week we posted the news that the House Ways and Means Committee, marking up the Health bill:
Rejected 25-15 an amendment from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that would have eliminated the public plan option;
Rejected 22-19 amendment from Rep. Charles Boustany (R-La.) that would have prevented providers from being forced to participate in the public plan;
Rejected 21-18 an amendment from Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) that would have required members of Congress and their dependents to enroll in the public plan option;
Rejected 21-19 an amendment from Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) that would have based payment rates on the private market, rather than on Medicare;
Rejected 26-15 an amendment by Rep. Wally Herger (R-Calif.) that would have prevented comparative effectiveness research from being used to deny care based on cost.
This information made it absolutely clear to our audience that those Democrats in Congress who support HR3200 are poised to inject a massive, lethal dose of statism into the brain of our healthcare system--the independent practice of medicine--a long-established, well-tested tradition in which doctors and patients exercise their right to make personal and private healthcare decisions that are informed by the professional training and experience of the doctor and tailored to the unique needs of the patient--without the forceful intrusion of government bureaucrats. We fear that this massive dose of statism will induce a wave of “seizures” in the healthcare economy — inflation, price controls, doctor shortages, waiting periods, and rationing. This is clearly the wrong medicine at the wrong time for the faltering economy, in general, and the over-regulated healthcare sector, in particular.
In your deliberations on healthcare reform, we respectfully ask you to demonstrate your respect for the rights of doctors and patients by opposing any government option, mandates for individual insurance coverage, mandates for employer coverage, tax surcharges, and requirement for doctors to participate in a public option. These provisions are immoral, unconstitutional violations of our rights as doctors and patients. These provisions are also fiscally irresponsible.
We urge you instead to support and vote for legislation to decrease the federal regulation of the entire healthcare industry. The burdens of federal and state control are stifling competition and innovation among insurance companies and other healthcare providers. They are a major cause of inflation in healthcare goods and services.
We understand that many of you are considering running for reelection. If your vote(s) reflect fiscal responsibility and respect the rights of doctors and patients, we will openly and vigorously support your reelection. If your vote(s) are fiscally irresponsible and violate the rights and doctors and patients, we may have no choice but to support your opponent.
We hope you make the right choice for freedom in America.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Respectfully,
Dr. Gregory L. Garamoni

I urge you to vote "no" on any government-run healthcare option, "no" on any mandates for individual insurance coverage, "no" on any mandates for employer coverage, and "no" on any surcharges.
These proposals are fiscally irresponsible and would be economically disastrous.
These proposals are violations of the inalienable rights of doctors and patients to make health care decisions without governmental interference.
I urge you instead to support and vote for legislation to decrease the federal regulation of the entire health care industry because the burdens of federal control are stifling competition and innovation, and they are a major cause of inflation in healthcare.
I understand that you are considering running for reelection so I will be monitoring your statements and votes on health care.
If your vote(s) reflect fiscal responsibility and respect the rights of doctors and patients, I will support your reelection.
If your vote(s) are fiscally irresponsible and violate the rights and doctors and patients, I will work to defeat your reelection.
Respectfully,

Dear Representative:
The Declaration of Independence formally acknowledged that we are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that our government was instituted to secure these rights, and that government itself derives its powers from the consent of the governed.
Consistent with these principles, I support--and strongly urge you to support--the propositions set forth in The Declaration of Independence for Doctors (www.doctorsonstrike.com) concerning the need to preserve, protect, and defend the inalienable rights of doctors and patients in any healthcare reform bills.
As citizens, patients and doctors (as well as other healthcare providers) have the inalienable and constitutionally protected right to make private health care decisions without governmental interference. As traders in a free market, we have the right to voluntarily negotiate mutually beneficial and acceptable terms and conditions in our dealings with one another.
In your deliberations on health care reform, I urge you to preserve, protect, and promote individual rights and freedom in medicine in America.
I urge you to vote "no" on any government-run healthcare option, "no" on any mandates for individual insurance coverage, "no" on any mandates for employer coverage, and "no" on any surcharges.

As doctors go on strike against government healthcare, your former constituents may not exactly welcome you with open arms. And neither will the doctors you formerly represented but betrayed. That is how seriously we take our inalienable rights.
Respectfully,
Long Message: Assert Your Inalienable Rights at Length, Vote "No" to Statist Proposals with Your Reasons, Vote "Yes" for Deregulation, Promise Consequences
Dear Representative:
Every year we celebrate Independence Day - that momentous day in our nation’s history when our founding fathers formally acknowledged in The Declaration of Independence that we are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that our government was instituted to secure these rights, and that government itself derives its powers from the consent of the governed.
Consistent with these principles, I support--and strongly urge you to support--these propositions set forth in The Declaration of Independence for Doctors (www.doctorsonstrike.com) concerning the need to preserve, protect, and defend the inalienable individual rights of doctors and patients in any healthcare reform bills being considered in Congress.
— That patients - as citizens - have inalienable rights, including the right to voluntarily buy healthcare services in a free market; that patients have the right to negotiate mutually acceptable terms and conditions in their private relationships with their doctors - without governmental interference; that patients have the same rights in their trading relationships with other providers of healthcare goods and services, including but not limited to all other healthcare practitioners, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, drug companies, and medical equipment manufacturers;
— That doctors - as citizens - have inalienable rights, including the right to voluntarily sell healthcare services in a free market; that doctors have the right to negotiate mutually acceptable terms and conditions in their private relationships with their patients - without governmental interference; that the same rights apply to all other providers of healthcare goods and services, including, but not limited to, all other healthcare practitioners, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, drug companies, and medical equipment manufacturers;
— That government does not have any constitutional or moral authority to force any doctors to serve the healthcare needs of any patients on any terms and conditions dictated by government; that doing this would be nothing more than a stealthy form of involuntary servitude, which is immoral and unconstitutional; that for similar reasons government does not have authority to dictate the production, pricing, availability, or delivery of any other healthcare goods and services provided by any healthcare provider to any patients;
— That there is no inalienable right to healthcare; that healthcare products and services are to be bought and sold as are any other products or services in the free market system; that government healthcare is unconstitutional; that the onus of proof lies with those who make the positive assertion that there is a constitutional right to healthcare; that people so burdened can search as long and hard as they like, but will not find a right to healthcare in the Federalist Papers, Declaration of Independence, or U.S. Constitution;
— That government does not have any constitutional or moral authority to "mandate" or otherwise compel individuals to be covered by healthcare insurance, or penalize individuals if they don’t chose to be covered by health insurance; that this mandate is immoral and unconstitutional because it violates the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
— That government does not have any constitutional or moral authority to "mandate" or otherwise compel any employers of any size to provide healthcare insurance to their employees, or penalize employers if they don’t; that this mandate is nothing more than stealthy stealing - an unjust expropriation and transfer of wealth; that this is immoral and unconstitutional because it violates the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
— That government does not have any constitutional or moral authority to impose a "surcharge" or otherwise force one group - taxpayers - to pay for the healthcare of any other group - patients; that this is a nothing more than stealthy stealing - an unjust expropriation and transfer of wealth that is immoral and unconstitutional because it violates the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
— That government does not have any constitutional or moral authority to shift the financial burden of healthcare from one group - the present generation of patients - onto the backs of another group - the next generation of taxpayers; that this is generational theft - a form of stealthy stealing - an unjust expropriation and transfer of wealth that is immoral and unconstitutional because it violates the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
In your deliberations on health care reform, I urge you to respect the fact that patients and doctors (as well as other healthcare providers) have the inalienable and constitutionally protected right to make private health care decisions without governmental interference. As traders in a free market, we have the right to voluntarily negotiate mutually beneficial and acceptable terms and conditions in our dealings with one another.
