ARE YOU REALLY NOT WAKING UP EVERYONE......AMERICANS ARE DONE..........WE NOW LIVE IN DIVERCITY....

WHERE BLACK IS IN AND WHITE IS OUT

BACK DOOR REPERATIONS.....HOW’S THAT WHITEMANS BURDEN WORKING? WE HAVE BEEN DUPED......AMERICA...IS PAYING THE MAN....AND OH YA HE IS REALLY BLACK!

[MichiganConservative]

Well, you could just walk away.

Maybe bringing the whole thing down as soon as possible is what is needed.

[goodnesswins]

Just what you want....a BRAIN SURGEON who got thru medical school because of his/her color....

[MichiganConservative]

Hey, I predict that, at least, race relations are going to get SOOOOO much better.

[historyrepeatz]

Yeah right. Abandon practice to become hamburger flippers at McDonald’s. I don’t see this happening. What I DO see happening is.. In the short term, more medical students to become doctors, then.. After word spreads about how the Gov’t F’ed up health care, FEWER students wanting to become doctors.. then it’s HEALTH CARE RATIONING time.

If we poach too many physicians from other countries- you can bet that those countries will do whatever it takes to staunch the flow.
I see a lot of Middle East physicians at work. If we start to steal them- they will pass laws to prevent them leaving their countries.

RE: “Doctors will be similar to Russia — paid about $40-60,000 and if you want real care you’ll (a) pay cash or (b) fly to nearby islands and nations that’ll set up top shelf medical care for Americans with $$$.”

***********

Are you saying docs are paid $40-60K now? Or in the past?

I was in the old USSR in 1977 and the big deal then was their claim that doctors earned the same amount as taxi drivers. Not much of an incentive to do well and go to med school, was there?

[Texas4ever]

RIGHT.....GET READY TO BEG FOR YOUR NEXT JOB AND SIT AT THE BACK OF THE BUS

[RangerM]

That’s the point. How many MORE and MORE OFTEN will they show up?

You’re right it’s going to get worse; especially in the large cities. You can’t add that much demand without an equal amount of supply and expect things to get better or cheaper.

I have friends who are docs, husband and wife. They are both very successful primary care docs. They will both be going on to other careers and will not be working for the government.
Doctors have very good educations and their knowledge can be applied in many other career fields.
The biggest exodus will be primary care docs leaving the inner cities and low income areas. These are the areas where it is hardest to find primary care docs. So where they need them the most is where they are going to loose the most.
The inner city population is going to be hard put just to find a doc that will take the government insurance and they aren't going to like it. They are going to whine and scream when they figure out just how bad the new obamba care is going to be for them. What is the obambass going to do next make a law that forces docs to practice medicine in these areas???

[CaliforniaCon]

RE: “The best thing any doctor can do for the country is QUIT.

I urge ALL people working in health care to QUIT. You can come back after Obamacare collapses.

Urge YOUR doctor and all other medical personnel to QUIT.”

****************

AGREE! If there are very few physicians, where are all these extra bodies on Obamacare gonna go? The system will be overloaded/bankrupt before it even gets going.

Come on, you say that like it isn't possible! This is America! ANYTHING is possible!

Americans would not accept care from substandard physicians.
There would be a revolt.
It was different in Russia-as they did not know any better.
There is no way in the US physicians would accept 40-60,000 salary.
My husband is a physician- if that occurred he could teach high school biology for the same wages.
No way, no how, anyone is going to take that level of stress job for 40-60,000.
It would kill health care.
Of course, they could pass a law that made physicians slaves.

[phatus maximus]

That’s what I’m concerned about....

Billy boy(the 6’3pantywaist) is dying to get an interview with the plastic lesbian or the colored capone. If it happenes, he’ll have to wear double depends

[Doctor Don]

I will close my office and work in a free clinic!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Maybe he’ll bring in some of Castro’s “barefoot doctors” from Cuba. According to Michael Moore, that system is already superior to our’s...

Oh yes, Al Sharpton himself said it very clearly on TV tonight for millions to hear — When people voted for Obama, they voted for socialism. The ‘guest’ who is staying with me, and who is not-so-secretly a Dem pretending to be independent, was SHOCKED, STUNNED, AGHAST. I calmly looked at him and said “You must be kidding — how could you NOT know well before the election what you were voting for? THAT’S what’s shocking to me!
