Apologizes for posting gruesome medical X-rays on Facebook
Milton Wolf sought forgiveness Sunday from anyone offended by his posting to Facebook of gory medical images of dead & injured people.Wolf responded to a story published by The Topeka Capital-Journal and a tidal wave of condemnation about X-ray imager
he uploaded to the social media site and sadistic jokes he made online about individuals killed by gunfire or harmed in other ways. "Several years ago, I made some comments about these images that were insensitive to the seriousness of what the images
revealed," Wolf, a radiologist, said. "I soon removed those images. However, my mistakes are my own & I take full responsibility for them."
He said the cumulative effect of witnessing human suffering & tragedy took a toll on those practicing medicine,
but "I am truly sorry and ask for your forgiveness."
Wolf also held his "political adversary" responsible for igniting controversy about the images. He said Roberts "wants to attack me as a doctor rather than giving Kansans a reason to vote for him."

ObamaCare is the most disastrous law of our lifetimes
Dr. Wolf's latest Washington Times column discusses more lies by President Obama about ObamaCare, and more problems with the law that Americans will soon face:"There's just no way around this: President Obama looked America in the eye and lied.
The president was so hellbent on 'fundamentally transforming' the country with his health care takeover that he intentionally deceived you--he lied--not once or twice, but over and over again."
"ObamaCare is the most disastrous law of our lifetimes, one that was forced upon us in the most dishonest of ways in order to fundamentally transform America from the Land of the Free into a nation of dependents. The ObamaCare days of reckoning have
barely begun, and our only salvation now is to repeal this train wreck in its entirety and to be honest with Americans about what measures actually work: patient-centered, market-driven reforms."

Replace ObamaCare with PatientCare
Wolf became a nationally known, outspoken critic of ObamaCare and its effects on the practice of medicine. He has also stated that as a Doctor who has cared for thousands of Kansans through the
years he knows firsthand the harm that ObamaCare is doing to our country and to Kansas families.
He pledged to fight every day for its repeal and to never cast a vote that funds any portion of this terrible law."America's health care system should not be centered around the government and it should not be centered around doctors.
America's health care system should be centered around patients. I call my plan simply: PatientCare." said Wolf.

ObamaCare extends "crony health care" which began in 1929
While we certainly have problems, America still has the finest health care system in the world. That patients flee their government-run systems--like Great Britain's and Canada's--and flock to America for our medical miracles should be an obvious clue
to not recreate their failures; obvious to everyone, that is, except ObamaCare supporters.While the Constitution does not give the federal government the authority to interfere with our health care, the big-government types have been at work
for decades and have, by any fair assessment, wreaked havoc. The first health care waiver was granted in 1929 when the American Medical Association successfully lobbied that Blue Cross be exempt from certain regulations and taxes.
Thus began the era of crony health care where Big Government's friends were more equal than the rest of us.

ObamaCare turns health insurers into public utilities
ObamaCare mandates that every free citizen purchase state-sanctioned insurance while it increases taxes (on everything from tampons and tanning salons to gold and the sale of your home); it increases spending even more; it turns health insurance
companies into public utilities; it eliminates proven free-market reforms and it sets in place the mechanism for health care rationing. What's more, ObamaCare has been ruled unconstitutional.The unkeepable promises of ObamaCare are, as we say in
medicine, too numerous to count, and are already collapsing. You can keep your current doctor and your current insurance. No tax increases. No rationing. Reduce the deficit. Four million new jobs created--"400,000 almost immediately." Public hearings.
These are the pathetic peddlings of false hope.
The President made yet another empty promise: if there was a way to solve our health care problems with the free market, he said, he'd be happy to do so. I'm calling his obvious bluff.

Free market solutions ALREADY work; so add more
The President made an empty promise: if there was a way to solve our health care problems with the free market, he said, he'd be happy to do so. I'm calling his obvious bluff. It's not just that free market solutions will work, it's that they already
are! Areas like Lasik eye surgery, cosmetic surgery and even medical tourism have seen medical costs decrease and patient satisfaction soar. There are numerous reform measures Americans deserve; key among them are these:- Tax Fairness.
Allow Americans to purchase their own insurance without a tax penalty.
- End state insurance and licensing monopolies. End the devastating boundaries that kill competition and drive up costs.
- Eliminate frivolous lawsuits.
You pay a "lawsuit tax" on everything from Band-Aids to open-heart surgery. The average obstetrician's malpractice insurance cost approaches $100,000 per year & they each deliver around 100 babies per year. That $1000 per baby "lawsuit tax".
