I heard Twila Brase speak a couple weeks ago at the Constitution Day rally at the State Capitol.  She had mentioned that the Democrats want to start fingerprinting doctors.  I googled, I searched, I couldn't figure out what she was referring to...it sounded so outrageous.

She sent me the link today, and sure enough, page 185 of the Senate Finance Max Baucus bill reads:

The Chairman‘s Mark would require that the Secretary screen all providers and suppliers before granting Medicare billing privileges. At a minimum all providers and suppliers would be subject to licensure checks. Certain groups of providers and suppliers would be subject to additional screening measures according to risk, as defined by the Secretary. The additional types of screening measures could include: submission of fingerprints, criminal background checks, multistate data base inquiries, and random or unannounced site visits.

Our government can't tell us who is in the country illegally and many cities (including Minneapolis,) are open sanctuaries for illegals, but it can start fingerprinting physicians and coming into their private offices unannounced?
