Doctors Hear Many Questions About Health Law
Dr. Roger W. Evans, a cardiologist in Wichita, Kan., is used to answering patients’ questions about their hearts. But lately, he said, he has spent half his time answering a succession of different questions — about the health care law.

Donald Moore, 75, one of those patients, expressed his uneasiness about the law recently: “The fact is that I don’t understand it, and no one else I talk to understands it. Every day, you read something different in the paper.”

Mr. Moore’s latest concern was a “rumor that the new health care procedures are going to be monitored and managed by the I.R.S.”

“That’s a turnoff right there,” he said. “How much is true, how much is fiction, out here no one knows.”

Most of the health care law, which President Obama signed last month, has yet to take effect, but for many doctors it is already having an impact.

1. i think those doctors should start instructing patients with concerns
like that the irs would be deciding things oought to stop listening to limbaugh and stop watching faux news.
