Comments on: Obama promises to follow Europe’s lead on treating carbon dioxide as a pollutant; Europe may head the opposite direction http://www.aapsonline.org/newsoftheday/0093 from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:00:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Michael A. Witt, M. D. http://www.aapsonline.org/newsoftheday/0093/comment-page-1#comment-1923 Michael A. Witt, M. D. Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:10:13 +0000 http://www.aapsonline.org/newsoftheday/?p=93#comment-1923 As long as China, Eastern Europe and other third world nations continue to pollute we will just handicap our own economy esp. in this most difficult economy. By the U. S. cutting back it will not make a difference in climate. The 20 most polluted cities are all out of this country, 19 are in China and the only one in North America is Mexico City. I feel any issue that could severely damage our economy will effect all the physicians of this country. Please continue to put light on all issues that can effect our ability to make a living. If our patients have been hurt by policy decisions of our government and they have lost their jobs good luck getting paid for the work we do. Keep up the good work representing the private practice of medicine. Michael A.

By weighing in on the presidential campaign on unrelated issues such as the environment, it loses credibility as an impartial entity. Attacking Democrates and promoting Republicans does not always result in free market friendly policies. Remember that it was Bush and the Republicans who spearheaded a massive expansion of government intervention in healthcare with the introduction of Medicare Part D, the bloated government funded prescription program. Beware of partisanship, as George Washington told us. Stick to the issues. AAPS should not be opining on matters unrelated to it’s core message of promoting free market health care reform.

Having these thoughtless souls spend an adequate interval in a "Biosphere" devoid of carbon dioxide would be suitable enlightenment for all concerned.
