83% of Drs. considering quitting because of Obamacare

While generally I don't like Drs. and avoid them unless I have extreme pain, this is not good for those of you who do have faith in doctors and their pills. I don't know how many of you watch the world news on any of stations but ABC had a story on it one day last week about how Drs. are getting perks, and financial gain from Glaxo-Smith Klein in making sure they push their product onto the American people. So, they and the pharma are getting rich off of others illnesses.

Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.
“Doctors clearly understand what Washington does not — that a piece of paper that says you are ‘covered’ by insurance or ‘enrolled’ in Medicare or Medicaid does not translate to actual medical care when doctors can’t afford to see patients at the lowball payments, and patients have to jump through government and insurance company bureaucratic hoops,” she said.

If they quit then, QUIT!

this is fear-mongering.

I'm not personally worried about them quitting for myself. I'll only see one if I'm in extreme pain, and besides if they quit they sure aren't the Drs. to whom the Hypocratic Oath applied to and the one thing in it that says "do no harm"

They just want to raise their rates. Fear-mongering. They will probably be subjected to some additional scrutiny and they don't like being managed. That's for "others" of lesser intelligence (and income).

If 83% of medical doctors quit, I predict that Big Pharma will lose quite a bit of money and survival rates will increase. That's like 300% win!

I know your right. My friend just got two perscriptions for a similar thing one that sems to counter effect and the other one to build up after the effect has taken place.

We just shouldn't trust doctors anyway, for anything. Check this out: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/12/nyregion/in-rory-stauntons-fight-for-his-life-signs-that-went-unheeded.html?pagewanted=all. Supposed to be some of the best doctors, right? Diagnosis shouldn't be too complicated. They just don't bloody give a rat's ass about their patients. Diagnosis - send home after bill is paid - check labs, etc., later...maybe. We might as well just let fate deal her hand. I don't think doctors really keep us alive longer at all. If people would shift their faith from doctors and treatment to themselves and living right, we would go far as a species.

It's wise not to trust a dr. not as ffar as you can pick one up and throw one I think. Unfortunate that for so many people Drs. are the no all and end all to their health problems and they don't consider an alternative method.

I feel sorry for the kid and his family. I hope he gets better.
P.S. It's a shame they might've gotten a better diagnosis from the internet.
P.P.S. I can tell you about Emergency Rooms, my friend fractured a wrist in a fall and had some other problems too, (by the way she didn't know her wrist was fractured everyone thought it was a bad sprain until 3rd week before leaving they decided to get it x-rayed and found it was fractured, now it out of alignment, but she did not choose to have corrective surgery on it, because they said it would take longer to heal from surgery) got sent to Emergency Room on a Saturday, was there from 12:30 p.m. and didn't get a room in the hospital until 3:30 a.m Couldn't get to contact anyone until about 1:00 a.m.

Mankind will not grow as a species until we start questioning everything. Not only are the doctors educations corrupt, but a lot of them are greedy and or corrupted by financial gain.

Amen to that, can't argue with your judgment there.

I think they SHOULD quit. They're not needed anyway. Most people only THINK they need to see a doctor, when in all reality, they'd be better off without them. I can see going in to set a bone or something, but now I start to think that even THAT can be done and was in the past so why can't we get back to that now. We should be healing ourselves, you're right kotn.

If a doctor's treatment involves any type of non-natural solution, ie pharmaceuticals, then they are not in the business to heal anyone, they are in it for the money, and yes truth, their education is massively corrupt, so they don't even know sometimes that they are harming people. Well, at least not maybe at first, but then the want for money comes into play and so they just don't care anymore.

If you want to be a doctor, you should be in it to HELP people, not to make a business out of it by forcing them to come back!

You can't even rely on them to set a bone. My friend as I mentioned in the previous post who is like a mother to me, fell and fractured her wrist, and went to the hospital with other problems as well Well, she ept saying her wrist hurt, and they said it was probably a sprain, she was there for 3 weeks and the week they discharged her, they decided to x-ray and yes a fractured wrist. Well naturally it was all ready starting to heal she declined corrective surgery and now wrist is slightly out of line. Fortunate, it wasn't right hand and she can still use it pretty decently.

To be quite honest, I didn't even know really what Obamacare was until I read this article.

Obamacare: A Taxing Decision : InRetro Magazine / InRetro Radio

I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the atrocity of what they are doing to you Americans. Living in Canada, I don't tend to pay attention to those kinds of things in great detail. But this made me wake up to it.

I can't blame the doctors who want to quit because of this one bit. It's atrocious.

Yes, it was a very sad day for many of us people in America when the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare as a tax. President Obama ran on the platform of hope and change. Unfortunately the people who elected him did not look intol what kind of change he wanted to do. Unfortunate, too though I salute him for being a War Hero, Sen. McCain would not have been too much better, all though I do believe he would've listened to us when we said we didn't want healthcare insurance. I think that Hilary would've too.. Albeit reluctantly.
I don't blame the Dr's for leaving either. Already had trouble finding those who would accept Medicare for my friend.
It's good that you keep watch on your people on high too. You never know, until its too late.
