HHS Secretary Sebelius, a bureaucrat with no medical experience, can tell your doctor how to treat patients starting in 2015
Despite President Obama’s claim that “you’re not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor,” a little known provision of Obamacare gives the health secretary broad authority to dictate how doctors practice medicine and treat their patients.
Starting in 2015, Obamacare will grant the Secretary of Health and Human Services, an unelected bureaucrat with no medical experience, power to decide what treatments are available to patients and if the doctor can perform procedures.
Section 1311(h)(1)(b) of Obamacare reads:
“Beginning on January 1, 2015, a qualified health plan may contract with … a health care provider only if such provider implements such mechanisms to improve health care quality as the Secretary may by regulation require.”

Same thing insurance companies have been doing for years. They were just bureaucrats making those same decisions, not doctor. Better now than someone who is looking to maximize profits for the insurance company.
Keep voting for Democrats the moronic cry babies.
I read that in the Bill BEFORE IT WAS PASSED. Didn't everybody?
Oh, that's right, you had to pass it to see what was in it!
Now, YOU own it, not me.
