Two of my co-bloggers at MedPage Today chime in.
Shadowfax: “I find it informative regarding the relative priorities of the parties that, while both factions want to curry favor with the doctors’ lobby, the Democrats’ first instinct is to preserve assistance for the poor, and the Republicans’ is to preserve free market reforms.”
Dr. Rob: “I don’t really believe Congress has what is best in mind for healthcare. I don’t believe Congress has anything but the upcoming election and partisan politics in their scope. Democrat, Republican, it does not matter – both are just posturing and using my profession as a political poker chip.”
