Do we need a Medical Declaration of Independence?

Additionally, we will act to achieve these inalienable basic rights of medical practice:

The right to treat our patients according to our training and judgment, not the insurance company’s.
The right to order appropriate testing without insurance approval or deliberate logjams.
The right to be immune from frivolous lawsuits.
The right to have justified lawsuits heard in front of a specialty court.
The right to meaningful tort reform.
The right to health and malpractice insurance reform.
The right to be paid fairly and promptly for our time and expertise.
The right to organize.
The right to talk to each other, openly and freely, without fear of being accused of collusion.
