Pajamas Media » Citizens vs. ObamaCare: ‘Million Med March’ Draws Hundreds in St. Louis

Pajamas Media » Citizens vs. ObamaCare: ‘Million Med March’ Draws Hundreds in St. Louis: "“I just want to tell the government to slow down, get it right or don’t do it at all,” said Dr. Dan Windsor, the St. Louis-area addiction specialist who led the Million Med March rally on Saturday afternoon outside the St. Louis County Government Building in downtown Clayton. “We’re for health care reform, but responsible health care reform.”

One of at least 21 rallies held in cities across the country, the St. Louis event attracted more than 300 people — including physicians, nurses, other medical professionals, and ordinary citizens — who, like Windsor, favor the concept of health care reform but oppose the reforms contained in legislation now making its way through the U.S. Senate.

“We feel this is pretty irresponsible, very irresponsible to proceed in the dark of night, to put together 2,000-page bills with all the legalese in there that you can’t understand,” Windsor explained.

Pointing to words most people do understand (i.e., mandates, penalties, agencies, commissions, and programs), he summarized his feelings about the aforementioned legislation by saying, “It all sounds like a lot of bureaucracy that’s gonna be tough to get through for me to see my patients.”

Dr. Robert Wiele shared views surprisingly similar to those shared among members of the fast-growing tea party movement during the past year."
