wow. way to destroy the medical profession!

You got that right! Back in the seventies/eighties I recall learning, while on trips to the old Soviet Union, that a doctor in, say, Moscow, ‘earned’ the same ‘salary’ as a taxi driver! If that doesn’t give one chills, what does?
Obama, with his plans and policies, does want to destroy the entire medical profession as we know it. It’s not perfect now but as many have said, we can tweak the current system a bit without destroying our futures.
No doubt some midwives are ecstatic. I knew a batch of them at County General in L.A. way back in the seventies, when midwifery was really taking hold. Went to a dinner with a bunch of them; I was the only person there who was NOT a nurse or midwife. Almost all of them detested the doctors they worked with and spat out all sorts of vile invective about them.
Seems it was a real clash of the egos — well, who went to med school and put in all the hours, hmm? I have no problem with nurses, but doctors they are NOT.
