Liz Carter

Atlanta - Congressional candidate Liz Carter is proud to announce that she has received the endorsement of a prominent physician's group in her campaign for Georgia's 4th Congressional District.

Doctors For Patients PAC, the political action committee of the national physician's group, Docs4PatientCare, formally notified Carter of their endorsement.

Carter received Docs4PatientCare's support because of her stand against the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  The group lauded Carter's efforts to repeal and replace the recently enacted health reform bill with a market-based policy that will preserve the doctor-patient relationship and protect patient choice.

"We need experienced and outspoken business leaders in the United States House of Representatives who understand what truly drives America forward: leadership, creativity, and freedom. The last thing patients need is a giant federal medical bureaucracy stifling innovative care," said Dr. Richard Armstrong, Chairman, Doctors For Patients PAC.

"Our people want health reform that will work, not federal mandates," Carter said. Reform is a priority for this Congressional district, and Carter believes there is growing momentum to see the measures repealed.

"The real tragedy of the federal health reform law is that there are commonsense approaches to fixing health care that are completely ignored by the bill that Hank Johnson voted for," Carter said.  "Why not address runaway health care prices instead of forcing working families to purchase insurance? Americans do not want the IRS involved in their medical decisions and we want to see the annual fraud of $150 BILLION addressed."

When elected to Congress, Carter vows to promote legislation that will place control of medical decisions where it belongs, with the patient and their physician. Carter concluded: "Congress should allow a nation-wide market for insurance, promote price transparency, and extend an income tax-credit to those who purchase insurance directly, just like companies who purchase health benefits for their employees."
