The Association of American Physicians &
Surgeons (www.AAPSonline.org),
The Voice for Private Physicians Since 1943, representing physicians
in their struggles against bureaucratic medicine, loss of medical
privacy, and intrusion by the government into the personal and
confidential relationship between patients and their physicians. The
News of the Day: Charles Thomas Sell, D.D.S, has been held in prison
for nearly 7 years without trial. When the magistrate judge ordered
him to be forcibly drugged with antipsychotic medication against his
will, supposedly to render him competent to stand trial, he appealed to
the district judge. When he lost that, he appealed to the Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and AAPS filed an amicus brief in his
favor. When he lost 2-1 there, he sought rehearing en banc, again
with the assistance of an AAPS amicus brief. He lost 5-4 on his
petition, and then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. AAPS again
filed a brief in favor of the Court hearing the case. The U.S. Supreme
Court finally held in his favor and stopped the forced drugging.

the Day and then click on "Court holds hearing on Dr. Sell's
motion to be tried on pending charges. - 5/31/2004." The AAPS News,
written by Jane Orient, MD, and archived on this site, providing
valuable information on a monthly basis. Thomas Sowell observes that
in 1909, people spent less than 18 percent of their income for housing.
Now that the government got into providing housing in 1937 with a rash
of green tape, 28 million Americans spend more than 30 percent of their
income for housing. She quotes Linda Gorman who gave other
examples in natural gas, airlines, and trucking where deregulation
increased volume and innovation with costs falling 30 to 40 percent.
There is every reason to expected the same benefits from deregulating
medicine. The net burden of regulation probably exceeds the
annual cost of insuring 44 million people according to Christopher
Conover of Duke University. Scroll further to the official organ,

Huntoon, MD, PhD, a neurologist in New York, and the Editor-in-Chief.
