Florida Hospital Depriving Patients of Trusted Doctors A new and dangerous movement has begun in Florida. Patients are being deprived of their chosen physicians. At Naples Community Hospital, the patient’s independent primary care doctors will no longer be allowed to admit patients, write orders, choose specialists, or have any say in their patient’s care. Hospitalists who are employed by and working for the hospital—not the patient—will be in charge. This hospital, which is tax-exempt is using a new Obamacare payment system that encourages them to control every dollar spent on every patient. Sign the petition to stop this. This new program is a major leap toward socialized medicine. If it succeeds, YOUR hospital may soon deprive you of YOUR trusted doctor.
