Individual Mandate, Medicaid Expansion, & Entire PPACA Unconstitutional, Doctors Tell Supreme Court

Feb 20, 2012

ObamaCare undermines in fundamental and dangerous ways, the practice of medicine, and harms patients & AAPS is taking every opportunity to inform the Supreme Court that physicians oppose this unconstitutional law. In addition to our still pending suit in federal district court, AAPS has filed 8 separate amicus briefs to the Supreme Court and federal circuit appeals courts and sought to intervene in the pending Supreme Court case.

Valentine’s Day Could Be Medicare Freedom Day for Doctors and Patients

Jan 9, 2012

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced the unprecedented step of allowing doctors until Feb 14 to drop their Medicare participation agreement and become a “non-participating” physician. Usually, doctors have to make that change before the end of a calendar year. The reason is that Congress gave only a two-month reprieve from a scheduled fee cut of nearly 30%, and no one knows what will happen at the end of that period on March 1. Since physicians’ expenses run at least 50% of revenue, and often much more, doctor’s pretax income from attending Medicare beneficiaries could be... read more

Physicians Oppose Mandatory Flu Vaccine for Health Workers

Dec 15, 2011

In letters to Colorado public health officials, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) opposes a rule requiring workers in health care facilities to have an annual influenza vaccination or lose their jobs. Workers who had a rare religious or medical exemption would be required to wear a mask in patient care areas from November through March. The religious exemption is too narrowly drawn, AAPS writes, and should be a philosophical exemption, as accepted in many states, to “to avoid inquisitions into matters of faith.” The mask requirement “seems to be nothing more than a punitive retaliation against those... read more

“Is There Care Without Medicare?” Asks Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

Dec 11, 2011

Tucson, Ariz. In 1966, the government was afraid that a lot of self-reliant, freedom-loving Americans would refuse to participate in a government medical plan. So President Lyndon Johnson forced insurers to cancel the private plans that enrolled about half of America’s senior citizens. There was no talk of a “public option competing on a level playing field.” To entice doctors, the government enrolled them automatically, and made it very easy and profitable to participate: no more problems trying to collect from patients who didn’t have money, or who preferred to use their money for other things. Now that Medicare is... read more
