I believe it is wrong to force physicians to refer patients to something that goes against the physician’s conscience. This violates the physician’s constitutional rights and it would be detrimental to an already struggling healthcare system. Patients can always find another physician but by making these changes the only option for a physician would be to go against his or her own beliefs or quit practicing. Any document that does that is not in the best interest of anyone. We will lose good, caring physicians if you push these proposed changes through.
