Once again, a special middle finger to all the damn idiots who voted for Obama!!!

An office employee of mine went to the county health dept for her annual gyn exam and years supply of brand name, non generic pills, (total cost $70 by the way) she said that they asked her a ton of history questions and medications and told her that because of Obamacare they were required to ask the questions and enter it in the computer.

How do you we find Dr’s that will not participate in this outrageous violation of privacy?

Are there any challenges to the health care law for privacy issues? Wasn’t Roe v. Wade determined at least partially on right to privacy?

How can Hipa laws be passed protecting patient privacy from family members, so much that I can’t even pay a bill for my husband without his permission, but the government has the right to know everything about me?

Time to go off the grid!!

They create a crisis, then rush in pretending to fix the crisis, and impose another level of tyranny.

Obamacare, which extends an already uneconomic, impractical & absurd Federal intrusion into something that is inherently local, immediate & personal--the relationship of a particular physician with a particular patient;--like so much of what comes out of Washington, these days, is fit only for satire. Contemporary Federal policy is almost impossible to adequately satirize. It certainly confirms the idea that truth is even stranger than fiction.

Physicians! Go Gault, and you can defeat ObamaCare in less than 90 days.

Accept ObamaCare by participating and you guarantee yourself a lifetime of low income, massive paperwork, and frustration.

If you can’t figure out this choice you’re not smart enough to be a doctor, anyway.

My cardiologist is retiring once Obamacare takes full effect. My kidney doctor is exploring the possibility of not accepting new Medicare patients. The AMA may have endorsed Obamacare, but I know several doctors who are adamantly opposed to it. They know that the reimbursements they will receive under Obamacare won't compensate them nearly enough for all the aggravation the law will give them, not to mention the need to huge additional staff to handle all the paperwork. And they don't like the idea of some governmental bureaucrat, possibly with no medical knowledge, telling them how or if to treat a patient.

So despite Obama’s claims that you can see any doctor you wish, the fact is that there will be fewer doctors to choose from. Many private practices will close, to be replaced by some “clinic” where you will see a doctor who knows nothing about you and might not even speak English. That is, IF you get to see a doctor. It could be that you will be treated by a nurse practitioner or perhaps someone with little more than paramedic training. Not knocking either profession, but particularly for major issues, the results of being treated by anyone with no medical degree could be fatal.

The Obama administration has lied about this monstrosity from the beginning. Unfortunately, his followers won't know that till they actually need health care. Then it may be too late.

they’ll be paid...only to NOT practice medicine...but to fill out every piece of personal detail....on each of us.

Some practices have sold themselves to hospitals to help cover the paperwork and stabilize their income. There has been a tremendous increase in hospital controlled practices but the physician still has to sit there typing the information into the computer. They can fall under the hospital’s professional liability and eliminate that worry but they will still be under the thumb of the government and the hospital.

YES....and “PREVENTIVE” which is supposed to be covered...HA...ONLY if you have NEVER, EVER had a problem before....ie...any prostate problems...NOT preventive; ever had a polyp during a colonoscopy? NOT preventive.

[markman46]

there are going to be many more “foreign” DR’s who make much more $$ here taking medicare/medicaid patient then they could ever make at home

[hal ogen]

nobamacare = stay healthy or die

To all who voted for nobama...may you have many challenges in the future, you putzes!

[blueunicorn6]

Doctors should bill the AMA if that outfit supported Obamacare.

[lowbridge]

” The AMA supported Obamacare, on the promise that the law would include a permanent “doc fix.” But Democrats reneged on that promise”

So does the AMA still support Obamacare now?

[GeronL]

So if they find something “new” with the “free exam”.... it’s no longer covered??

[markman46]
