It is merely an outline to get you started and you are highly encouraged to tailor this to your own practice and add personal information to make it more compelling.  \nPrint the letter on your office or personal letterhead. The format for the inside address is as follows:  \nThe Honorable [Insert first and last name] United States Senate  \nWashington, DC 20510  \nThe Honorable [Insert first and last name] United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515  \nBarack H. Obama  \nThe President of the United States  \nThe White House  \n1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500  \n* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  \nDear Senator [ insert last name]/Representative [ insert last name]/Mr. President:  \nI am a practicing neurosurgeon in [ insert city and state] and I am writing to express my views about healthcare reform.  \nI certainly agree that reform of our nation’s healthcare system is long overdue and I am pleased to see that Congress is inching closer to passing reform legislation. I think everyone can agree that all Americans should have a wide range of choices for affordable health insurance coverage and Congress needs to address problems such as insurance portability by eliminating coverage denials for pre-existing conditions. However, based on what I am hearing, I am very concerned that current reform efforts go well beyond what is necessary to fix what is broken with our system. Rather than pursuing a carefully targeted set of reforms, it appears to me that the bills under consideration by Congress will significantly expand the role of the federal government in all aspects of healthcare, to the detriment of physicians and patients alike.  \nAs you continue to debate the details of healthcare reform legislation, I encourage you to consider the following:  \n􀁸 Congress must protect the sacred relationship between patients and their physicians by adopting reforms that will eliminate insurance company interference and by decreasing, not increasing, the presence of the government in the patient exam and operating rooms. I fundamentally oppose ideas such as an Independent Medicare Commission, which would take Medicare policy decisions out of Congress and place them in the hands of unelected officials with little accountability for the healthcare decisions it makes. This kind of structure is an opportunity for a few individuals to implement sweeping changes to the Medicare program, which is unacceptable.  \n􀁸 A public health insurance option is simply unnecessary to ensure that individuals have adequate choice of health plans. There is no question that the inclusion of the public  \nhealth insurance option will lead to more and more people being covered by this government run plan. As some commentators have suggested, the public option is the entire camel under the tent toward a single-payer, government run healthcare system, which would allow the government to set benefits and implement rules that could restrict patients’ choice of physician and limit timely access to quality care.  \n􀁸 It isn’t healthcare reform, if proven medical liability reform is not part of the package. Easing the crushing weight of medical liability by adopting reforms such as those in place in California and Texas will help curb defensive medicine and bring down healthcare costs.  \n􀁸 Patients should have direct access to, and choice of, specialists without having to go through a gatekeeper or jump through too many hoops. Direct access to specialty care equals quality care and health care savings, and delivery system approaches like the medical home are simply another managed care model that American’s long ago rejected. Such choice can be achieved if Congress allows patients to privately contract with their physicians.  \n􀁸 Efforts to promote quality improvement are laudable, ","cbCaiv5R3iUnkpxX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv5R3iUnkpxX","pdf",19051,"English","# Sample Healthcare Reform Letter\n## Letter Formatting and Address Lines\n## Key Healthcare Reform Issues\n## Closing and Signature","[{\"question\":\"Who is the sample letter intended to address?\",\"answer\":\"It is written for U.S. Senators, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the President of the United States.\"},{\"question\":\"What main concerns does the letter raise about current reform efforts?\",\"answer\":\"It warns that proposals may expand federal government involvement beyond what is necessary, potentially harming physicians and patients.\"},{\"question\":\"Which specific reform elements does the letter recommend including or rejecting?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for including proven medical liability reform, recommends protecting patient-physician relationships by reducing government interference, opposes an independent Medicare commission and a public option, and urges action to prevent the looming 22% physician payment cut tied to SGR.\"}]","Sample Healthcare Reform Letter | PDF",1789565321]
