Health Freedom Minute October 4, 2012
Citizen Spy Network for Healthcare? The Obama administration wants citizens to file reports on their doctors and hospitals. This new “consumer reporting system for patient safety” is ridiculous. First, it will cause unnecessary fear of doctors and hospitals. Second, most states already require hospitals to report safety issues. Third, a federal law already authorizes federal officials to work with state organizations to analyze safety issues. Fourth, the estimated cost of the law is $60 million over five years. Now they want citizen spies, which will enable federal agents to burst into doctorʼs offices due to the most minimal complaint. Tell your member of Congress to stop this plan. Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 “Plan: Patients to report on medical errors,” Robert Pear (The New York Times), St. Paul Pioneer Press, September 23, 2012.
