You are right, it should be up to the doctors you have, not the government going where it should not be, into private medical records. I think they are going to do this regardless down in my state of Fla. Somebody just sued the governor, as he tried to make a law for blanket testing for all medicare patients. I would hate to have people presumed guilty of doing something illigal. Gov. Scott is trying to do this, even though the people are against it. I like everybody else would have to comply to keep my benefits. Of course I am against what our governor is trying to do. This state has alot of problems with the illicit type of goings on, but what he proposes is not the answer. I am glad to get responce from you since it is in our headlines almost daily. I hate to see people who really have pain issues be turned away from doctors. thanks Doc for your input, and I hope this state can find a place where innocent people don't have to be tested to keep their benefits. If this passes it would set a bad thing in motion for other states. I think they want to reduce the number of people who are on medicare as there are so many in this state. Fair or not, that is what our governor is trying to do. I don't know how to stand against it except by trying to vote him out of office. Any ideas? ginnie
