WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–June 28, 2011. In response to a New York Times Article entitled, “U.S. Plans Stealth Survey on Access to Doctors,” United States Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is circulating a letter among Senate colleagues in advance of sending a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius requesting the details of the survey. The article, which outlines a proposed government program to secretly obtain information from primary care physicians, highlighted numerous complaints about the proposed program from doctors ranging from concerns about the secretive nature of the surveys to the misallocation of government funding. The final version of this letter will be sent with additional signatures this week.
