I would like to express my concern regarding the proposed policy that would require physicians to refer patients for any medical procedure regardless whether or not they are in agreement with the procedure. Our health care system already is experiencing a shortage of physicians and workers and this policy would quite likely cause many health care workers to leave their practice, causing even more problems for the general public in receiving proper health care. Personally, I would want to have a doctor who is willing to stand up for what he or she believes to be best for the patient.
