Doctors Tea Party to Feature U.S. Senate Candidate Sharron Angle
Association of American Physicians & Surgeons Annual Meeting to Gather in Salt Lake City to Discuss Future of Medicine.
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Physicians and citizens concerned about the negative effects of ObamaCare on American medicine will gather Saturday, September 18 in Salt Lake City at the Utah State Capitol Plaza from 6:00p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for a National Doctors Tea Party rally (www.DoctorsTeaParty.com). The tea party rally is being held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle, opposing Senator Harry Reid, will be a featured speaker at the tea party. Also speaking is Dr. Jane Orient, the AAPS executive director, who helped expose the closed-door health care taskforce meetings during the Clinton Administration.
Cherilyn Eagar, Utah's Common Sense Conservative, will present a call to action at the AAPS meeting. Eagar is currently establishing a Utah AAPS chapter and Coalition for Healthcare Freedom. "We must now focus our energies on stopping the most egregious, unconstitutional and far-reaching Federal grab for power and control that we have seen in our life time. If we value quality of life, health and freedom, we must all get behind U.S. Congressman Steve King's bill HR 4972 that calls for total defunding and repeal of ObamaCare. We cannot succeed in this endeavor without the collaboration of doctors, nurses, patients and common sense Americans who care about their children's future."
Dr. Wayne Iverson, California AAPS Coordinator, is so alarmed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the misconception that doctors support it that he is helping Eagar organize the Doctors Tea Party in Salt Lake City. "It is time to let people know why physicians believe the Obama Administration is taking medicine in the wrong direction," said Dr. Iverson. Dr. Grant Fairbanks, President of the Utah State Plastic Surgery Society and the Salt Lake Surgical Society explained, "A CNN / Opinion Research Survey recently found that 56 percent of Americans oppose the healthcare law. Seventy-one percent of Missouri voters recently rejected the healthcare plan in a statewide referendum representing a broad range of political views. Now, more than ever, doctors must become involved before it is too late."
