ZDNet, a major IT/Tech news outlet, gave Doctors On Strike for Freedom in Medicine (mostly) favorable attention only a week after a press release was issued about our new organization. Here is the lead in:

"The latest bit of Astroturf aimed at derailing health reform comes from Gregory Garamoni, a psychologist in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, near Jacksonville.

He wants doctors to go on strike.

His Declaration of Independence rejects any government role in health care, stating “there is no inalienable right to healthcare.” It calls advocates of universal healthcare “statists.”

And then he gets mad."

Some people will probably respond to the comments attacking me and my position by posting their own comments that sting like an angry bunch of African bees.

I'm buzzing myself and will be posting a principled response tomorrow after I get some sleep.

Supporting freedom in medicine is not my cause--its something WE ALL CARE ABOUT--the health of our health care system is under attack by virulent statism--we are all doctors now!
