The 3/29/2011 Boston Herald article on Romney Care in Massachusetts tells us that fraud happens when government money flows. The best way to stem the tide is for government to stop writing the checks. That is why we believe the taxpayers will benefit tremendously by ending taxpayer funded health care for the poor and instead aking physicians to provide free care at the local level. Just reward those physicians with state covered medical malpractice. No checks from Trenton, no fraud, just kind, compassionate care.

First off I want to thank your bold and seemingly fearless interest to preserve quality healthcare. I am an aspiring P.A and am very excited for the opportunity to get involved with groups like your free clinic.

Secondly, is the video clip of your testimony before the US Senate subcommittee in its entirety. If not where can I find it. I would love to see the whole thing.

Thank you

Dear Tim-- thanks for contacting us. How good that you are interested in being involved in a free clinic. If you contact www.echoclinics.org you will find an organization that has as its goal the facilitating of the establishment of 10,000 non-government free clinics by the year 2030.

Bernie Sanders headed the hearing and gave me very little time to speak. But listening to the others is enlightening in the fact that you will see they have no real answers to cutting inappropriate ER use.
