President Obama has built enough strawmen to feed a cattle ranch for a month. His latest incarnation was the evil doctor giving out unneeded tonsillectomies or whatever just because the doctor could get paid more. Do you feel you have such a doctor? I didn't think so, because if you did he wouldn't be your doc anymore.

When we first moved to Utah, we had to get a new dentist. We found one but after a few visits we noticed that he was detecting at least two cavities per family member per visit. This hadn't been our past experience, so after we got suspicious, we visited another dentist. Lo and behold no cavities. We switched dentists.

Maybe the President forgot that the ability to change providers in our current system serves as a deterent to the strawman he proposed. I doubt his system will allow such choices, afterall as an ex-military guy I know something about government provided healthcare.
