A number of surgeons and physicians feel the most important issue on November 6 is whether or not ObamaCare will be repealed.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons says its political action committee has raised $63,000 to oppose ObamaCare. Dr. Jane Orient of Arizon tells OneNewsNow the AAPS-PAC reports that contributions donated this year have doubled and will fund candidates who oppose the federal healthcare overhaul.
"For many reasons, we think that ObamaCare must be repealed," she states. "There are many problems with medicine; I think almost all of them are related to third-party payments. These need to be addressed, but ObamaCare moves us entirely in the wrong direction."
The AAPS-PAC is supporting 19 legislative candidates and hopes to see a majority win in a tight race for the U.S. Senate.
"We think the single most important issue is whether or not the candidate will vote to repeal ObamaCare or whether he can vote to repeal ObamaCare," says Dr. Orient. "If the Senate remains in Democrat hands, he probably will have no opportunity whatsoever, as Harry Reid will keep the issue from coming to the floor."
The PAC notes that donations in 2010 amounted to $30,000 -- less than half of this year's total of more than $62,000.
