Article V Convention Day: When it will be and where it will take place remains to be seen. If it will happen is up to us. And, like any decent army, we must constantly prepare for battle. And this battle will be one of words and ideas.

The fearful are already crying for a ceasefire of our words and ideas. How should the COS Grassroots Army respond? Nope, nope, nope and nope!

Look upon their fear as an opportunity to practice for the future when the whole nation will be divided between those who want the Swamp drained and those who fear any kind of change. And, you can be sure that the mainstream media will be stoking those fires of fear.

What is Battle Practice? In the armies we are familiar with it is often called 'maneuvers' or 'war games.' In an army that fights with words and ideas it involves learning about ideas consistently until understanding becomes as innate as muscle memory on a warrior.

Physicians for COS

The diagnosis is clear.

We have a growing cancer today known as the Obamacare. As a result physicians are no longer free to practice medicine.

No profession feels the full force of the federal government more than physicians. The medical profession is the most highly regulated profession in the United States. The practice of medicine is controlled, taxed, and regulated to the point of being destroyed by the heavy hand of the federal government.

Physicians are told how to bill, how much to charge, and how to treat patients. They are mandated to use expensive electronic medical records. The federally enacted HIPPA (Health Information Privacy and Portability Act) makes the communication between physicians and atients burdensome, inefficient,and expensive. Every physician is required by federal mandate to register with the government to obtain an NPI (national provider identifier.) We are required by federal law to obtain and pay for a license to prescribe medication through the DEA, which is separate from our state licensure.

This heavy hand of government not only oversees the largest federal health bureaucracy ever created, but by extension reaches into every state, every city, and every small town to regulate how every licensed physician practices the art of medicine and how citizens obtain care.

The treatment is also clear.

The prescription for a cure was written into our constitution by our founders. Article V of our constitution allows for the states to call for a convention of states to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government through the proposal of constitutional amendments. Physicians should be the strongest supporters of this brilliantly-crafted states’ rights tool placed into our constitution by our founders.

I urge my fellow American physicians to join with me in supporting an Article V Convention of States to take back control of the practice of medicine. It’s the only way that we can return the practice of medicine back to the intimate relationship between a doctor and patient without interference by the heavy hand of a distant, national government.
