Patriot Room ^ | 2009-10-13 | Robert

In a piece by Newsmax, Dr. Russell Blaylock, a renowned neurosurgeon, says that provisions in the bill will be the equivalent of drafting doctors into the public health option.

Don't worry. I have been in the Healthcare field for 35 years. All the doctors I have asked along the way have said they will simply retire if forced into a Nationalized Healthcare System. We just won't have near enough doctors to sustain what the Dems are trying to do. We will lose the best healthcare system in the world due to the necessity of the Dems imposing Socialism on our great country. Very sad for the world.

Doctors will be totally abused. Forced to live where they do not want to and forced to administer healthcare determined by democrat bureaucrats.

Will these “drafted” doctors have “standing” to ask the courts if Obama is indeed a natural born citizen.

Gee! I would think that slavery counts as being injured.

Yep. I really want a doctor to treat me who isn’t being paid enough and is being forced to see patients.

That will work out well.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I ran a welfare office in Ohio for two years after I finished my training. I **swore** before God, that if health care were nationalized I would quit! It really was that bad dealing with these state bureaucrats.

I retired 2 years ago, at the age of 59. It just wasn't worth all the hassle, responsibility, fighting the insurance companies, and government paperwork regarding taxes. It can only get worse with the Marxist/fascists issuing the orders.

Uh oh! I’m white!

I’m retired, but, hey!, drafted is drafted.

Good bye retirement! Hello, slavery!

You wait, it won’t be long before they are forced to.

It would be nice if all the doctors who would retire under a socialized health system were to go on strike BEFORE it is passed to make their point truly felt.

Cancel or don't renew your license. You can't be forced to do that which you aren't licensed to do. Doogie Houser shrugs.

Any physician who doesn’t recognize that Obama has drawn a bullseye on his paycheck isn’t paying attention. Where a hack sees $500 billion in fraud and abuse, physicians see profession compensation.

I figure there will be an offshore place emerge where the really good doctors will start for people who can afford it.

In America we will end up with sub par 3rd world style doctors like in Britain and other socialist systems.

I cannot believe that American citizens are willing to allow these communists to do this to us.

This will mean the death of many, problem is they are to stupid to know this.

I am about to tune out. The suffering is still in early stages. People can’t see how they are going to be screwed.

You can't be forced to do that which you aren't licensed to do.

That is currently true. But if they remove the licensure requirements then the doctors can be required to labor with or without license.

Yes, it is slavery, but the 13th amendment is part of the constitution, that document that is routinely ignored. And remember, a bunch of old, white dead males passed that amendment.
