Best of the MedCitizens: Reform reform reform

Every week MedCity News highlights the best of its MedCitizens, syndication partners and MedCity News readers who also contribute to MedCityNews.com. The MedCitizens are sponsored by MyPRGenie, the only Do-It-Yourself, PR platform and news wire that gives you access to more than 540,000 journalist contacts.

Now, here’s the best of what YOU had to say.

Health care reform: This doc is sold. “Health care reform needs to pass. I’m sorry. It just has to. This transcends politics and ideology and all the other BS we have to listen to on FoxNews and CNN. It’s become one of the defining moral issues of our time (along with the torture scandal, of course.)”
ObamaCare: The threat to physician autonomy. “Doctors have too often been marginalized as self-interested. If that were true, there would be far fewer practicing physicians.”
Why fewer family doctors? You make more as a nurse. “It’s times like this that I’m glad I’m not only a physician, but an internist. That might come in real handy when the health care implosion, already underway, is completely unmasked by a debt that cannot be sustained by any rational measurement.”
Donna Simpson: Dreaming of being 1,000 pounds. “In this super morbid obese lady, I have no doubt in my mind that she will cost taxpayers untold millions in resources to try to keep her alive when her day of reckoning comes due.”
President Obama: Save the geeks. “Why are the bright young students shying away from science and technology? Well, because they are smart.”
