I wonder where this DUmmy finds a doctor:

If your doctor is a Republican-Get another doctor!!
From my perspective-Health providers are in a proffession where compassion & empathy are critical to obtaining a good outcome for your patient.
Then why anyone would knowingly see a Republican physician is beyond me.
The priorities are all wrong. I hear them call in to C-span & whine moan & bitch about how this is going to hurt thier bottom line. So you get where the priorities are right from the start.
Not your health...
Not your access to service...
Nope-what matters to Republicans is how much money they can soak us for.
That is not what you want in a health care provider.

DUmmies have several choices if they want a democrat doctor. They can find an incompetent who needed affirmative action for admission to medical school. Many of them vote democrat. Or, they can go to a quack like one of the many "alternative medicine" practitioners, or "naturopaths", aromatherapists, chiropractors, homeopaths, acupuncturists, or voodoo shamans. None of those quacks will cure the DUmmy's affliction, but they mostly vote democrat. Real doctors are overwhelmingly, almost unanimously, Republican.

1. My doctor is a Green who supports Single Payer. She's wonderful!

2. I've never discussed politics with my doctor
However, considering that he's gay, works for a university hospital, and treats a number of transgendered patients, I'm guessing he's ok.
I cannot imagine going to a queer doctor.

11. I buy BLUE ONLY and I am not sorry for it
I don't give my $$ to the rep. grocery store, or the rep insurance agent, or Home Depot (CEO called dems idiots), or repug doctors (I can drive anywhere I want for care), or walmart, or hire landscaping, painters, or repug pharmacists.
Why would I give my hard earned money to repug that will send it in to the RNC or Repug candidates to defeat my people.
DUmmy barbiegeek is so stupid she doesn't realize nearly all viable businesses are run by Republicans.

19. I'm curious as to what a GOP store looks like ...
... and how you figured that out. Is it just the CEO that makes it a GOP store, or do all the employees have to vote GOP, or just a simple majority of them?
Are all the employees tea baggers? Or maybe they're just people trying to make ends meet, do you quiz them all when you go into a store to determine their political purity, while you make a totally pointless political statement.
In your ideal world you "teach them a lesson" and they close your local store. 30 or 40 people are out of work, some may be union and used to be Dem contributors. But boy you sure showed them.
How much of your life do you actually devote to ferreting out what the CEO or COO, or whoever you decide makes those decisions, thinks of political issues? How much extra fuel do you use driving to your progressive grocery store?
I'm a grown up with a real job and have better things to do with my time, but bless you for your political purity.

22. By all means - I DO! There are many stores/restaurants I don't patronize because of their politics.
Repukes are a DISEASE and a CANCER on this country.
Same as knowingly patronizing a Nazi or a white supremicist - only with repukes - it's more or less the same thing these days.
So yes - I and my entire family - boycott repuke establishments where we can.

I think a lot of primary care docs are single-payer supporters than say surgeons, cardiologists, etc. Specialists love the system we have because they make LOADS more than primary care docs.
I think the noob carpetmuncher has no idea.

15. As much as I would like to be able to do that...
I live in a very red state. I'm willing to bet that at least 75%-80% of the doctors in the area are Republicans. So to eliminate all Republicans would mean doing without certain specialties all together.
One thing that IS a dealbreaker for me, though: Fox News playing in the waiting room. In my experience, 100% of the doctors who inflict Faux Noise on their sick patients are narcissistic, incompetent jerks.

21. Politicizing health care delivery is a very bad idea.
Imagine that you are on a trip away from home and you don't know the political orientation of the local hospitals and clinics and doctors. You fall on some ice and go to an ER but they won't treat you--or you refuse to be treated--because your politics are "incompatible." Duh.
DUmmy w8lifinglady is a weirdo who writes and brags about hundreds of crackpot letters to the editor of some tiny local paper out West, I think. A real moonbat:

25. easier said than done in my area-85% repub
I do choose doctors who make it unnecessary to ask...the topic doesn't come up.My neurologist knows exactly how I think-I've shown him my columns...and still aggressively treats me.I anticipate that he is a republican...but a professional first.

They could go to one of those guys Obama had in lab coats for PR at his speeches. Except that I don't think most of them (If any at all) were practicing doctors that actually provide primary patient care.
:-)

The DUmp at its best. They perceive far greater power than they actually have. So, when confronted with that sad fact, they go on a raging stomping dervish, railing against their enemies, who laugh at them. I guess they can't see what I can see: massive doctor shortages, they've gone fishing. They want to pick and choose progressive only doctors? I can't wait for reality to smack them in the ass.
The barbiegeek and DonP exchange was pretty funny.

LOL! Yup, you can right now .... in four years ... not so much. Congratulations on your HCR victory!!

Hey, DUmmies, if this means you all die faster, be my guest.
Assholes.

Hey babrogreek
Conservatives aren't donating to the RNC anymore, that's way out of fashion.

In all my 25 years of nursing I've never known any provider - doctor, nurse, therapist, technician, anyone - who based their quality of care on someone's race, religion, sexual orientation, politics or any other identity factor. The subject never even comes up except for, rarely, some religious consideration that warrants tailoring a treatment plan that takes into account their beliefs. If a patient brings up politics I'll listen to them, nod my head, and give a little "hmm" or something that signifies I hear them, but that's it. Health care professionals, the vast majority, have neither the time nor the inclination to engage anyone in a controversial subject unrelated to their care. We provide polite listening and acknowledgment of their feelings, not debate.
Now, if someone is a complete and utter asshole not related in any way to their condition, I may not feel compelled to go out of my way to give them any special privileges, say, stop on my way to work and pick them up a six-pack of their favorite soda, but otherwise they get the same standard of care as anyone else.
Based on the hatred I see coming from the DUmmies though, including some anecdotes from self-proclaimed "nurses" over there, I have no doubt that some of them would base their care on a patients religion or politics. There's at least a couple at DU who have no business being in a clinical setting, or having a license at all in my estimation.

True, but I am torn between donating to the Killbot Program, or the Worldwide Weather Machine Project myself.

Queers doctors make the best proctologists.... :gay: :naughty: :rotf:

I talked about Obamacare with my PCP, my oculoplastic surgeon, my rheumatologist and the doctor who did my nerve/muscle test. I brought the subject up when they would say something the led me to believe they thought the way I did about it. All of them were against it, my PCP went further and discussed politics, he is a republican. I'm sure he wouldn't have discussed it if I didn't ask and voiced my opinion.
I'm pretty sure our previous PCP in Dallas was a republican from the comments he would make every once in awhile but I don't know for sure. My cousin who is a pediatric oncologist is a republican yet he lives in Seattle, works in a teaching hospital and does research.
I'm not sure about my Retinal Specialist. He has Mother Jones magazines in his waiting room. I really don't care what he is, he is a really good doctor. That is all that matters.
That being said, I'm sure that each doctor mentioned above would treat the most liberal DU'er the same way they treated me.

Really dandi, shouldn't that read more like...
There are more than a couple at DU who should be held in a clinical setting wearing a collar, leash, and license. :evillaugh:
Seriously, I see no reason to bring religion or politics into a medical conversation. I did have one Dr state that he would not take Medicare / Medicaid patients because of the paper work nightmare it created, he brought the subject up, not me, but I didn't see it as a Republican / Democrat issue at the time.
And for a bit of an off topic question, do Canadian DR's work the same number of hours a year as Americans? Do they make up for the lack of compensation by reducing the amount of service I guess is the question.

I've shown him my columns
What does that mean? Then again, it's the dump, so I probably don't want to know.

Think I'll open myself up a clinic for DUmmies....put out a sign.
Dr. JohnnyReb
Rockologist
Specializing in the relief of all
aches, pains and mental illness.
I'll have then lie face down on a table while I rub their head with a rather large smooth red stone. I'll feed'em a line about it's healing properties and how it will absorb all their pains and problems. Then . BONK! .... no more problem.

I must go to more classy doctors than the Little Goons. Every waiting room I frequent has a television tuned in to some sort of subscription health channel available to health professionals. My dentist, on the other hand, has his 90-inch plasma tuned into FAUX News (and a glossy sign that says "Do Not Touch").
All my doctors are politically conservative. No, I did not seek them out. That's just the reality.
