Analyst's note:  Standby for "heavy seas and rolls" across these United States when the impact of this portion of ObamaCare becomes understood by the American voter. Thanks again to a "progressive" Congress who does not even recognize we have a U.S. Constitution.

"[....] Starting in 2015, Obamacare will grant the Secretary of Health and Human Services, an unelected bureaucrat with no medical experience, power to decide what treatments are available to patients and if the doctor can perform procedures.

Section 1311(h)(1)(b) of Obamacare reads:

“Beginning on January 1, 2015, a qualified health plan may contract with … a health care provider only if such provider implements such mechanisms to improve health care quality as the Secretary may by regulation require.”

[....] But by 2015, Americans will be demanding answers for the inevitable loss-of-life due to byzantine regulations and the destruction of the doctor-patient relationship.

You say we live in  the  Land of the free: wait till you consider 40,000 new laws to come in 2014.  Suprise! Even the number of emergency room visits will  skyrocket due to Obamacare.  We also note Obamacare Confusion Begins as Hospitals Unable to Verify Healthcare Plans and 'They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!': Obamacare confusion reigns as frustrated patients walk out of hospitals without treatment. 

We are greatful to see that Eleven attorneys general slam Obama healthcare fixes as illegal

You will note that we'd better NOT try to take care of ourselves.
