The PAC for the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announced their endorsement today of Republican Nominee Eric Beck in his race for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District.
“Eric Beck will be a fresh new face in the House of Representatives who will add a voice for common sense to a Congress that has lost its way,” said Dr. Alieta Eck, President of the AAPS. “We are looking forward to the complete repeal of ObamaCare and know that Eric Beck will work tirelessly to make that happen.”
AAPS is a nationwide non-partisan association of physicians that works to preserve medical freedom and help physicians reduce third party interference in their relationship with patients.
“Organizations like the AAPS are doing great work to speak for patients and doctors around the country,” Beck said. “But we need to achieve long-term solutions in Washington. In Congress, I will work to build a value-based healthcare system that reduces cost, improves quality and expands access, all while putting patients first. That is the solution we need to make healthcare affordable for all Americans.”

"It is simple to opt out of Medicare - far simpler than staying in the Medicare program. Thousands of physicians have already opted out, and we have not heard a single regret by any of these physicians. Medicare endangers seniors, rations care and punishes the best doctors whose only aim is to give the best care. For the sake of patients and integrity of the profession, doctors should get out of Medicare." That is totally insane, AAPS has everything backwards. Without Medicare, most seniors would not be able to afford health care or health insurance, if they could even find a company that would give them health insurance. Medicare makes it possible for ordinary American seniors to get decent quality care, regular check ups and palliative care. The AAPS is obviously anti-Medicare and would love to kill off Medicare, I call that an extreme fringe wingnut group.
Beck is going to get a ton of endorsements from these position groups, as will Holt on the other side. I take issue with Patch allowing direct release of what are really unfiltered press releases from this campaign being presented as local voices. A voice is an opinion, a retort to an action or movement or how to make a pasta salad. Not political theatre. and if it is Patch's policy to allow this, then expect the fringe parties to demand equal coverage and posting rights. and that is just my voice...
