One result of blammocare
« on: March 22, 2012, 07:25:52 PM »
Although my wife is now retired, she works part-time at the same hospital 2 days a week. A doctor she's known for YEARS told her that the medical group attached to the hospital has told him that he has too many patients. He already receives none of the calls from his patients. He's worked at this clinic and the hospital for over 40 years. They said they would decline to make any appointments for his patients until they are farmed out to other doctors.

He doesn't want to lose his pension, but he's getting to leave - with all of his patients - and go to an Advocate hospital, where he's interviewed and which will give him all the privileges he once had at the current hospital.

So who wins? Obamacare wins. His patients and the doctor all lose.

One survey of MDs done during the forcing-down-the-throats process, indicated that 40 percent of MDs would leave the practice of medicine entirely if Obamacare passed.

My family doctor is a fairly young fella.  Late 30's - mid 40's.

He despises Obamacare and is of the opinion that it will destroy quality health care in this country.
