A doctor who considers the national health-care overhaul to be bad medicine for the country posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care "elsewhere."
"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."
The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama…seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."

Get over it, Doc. Health-care reform was badly needed, and this is just more sour grapes from the GOP. (19 responses)

Before it’s over, people in FL will embrace socialism like those elsewhere. They already have in many ways.
LOL. Like everywhere else, where?
The doc is winning both polls.
Can we draft Dr. Jack Cassell to replace Orlando Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson?
There’s one p*ssed off urologist!
good news indeed.
Did you read some of the comments posted at the website?
Our doc is a die hard conservative/veteran/biker who despises 0 and doesn’t care who hears him say it.
He is SO freaking in demand [he is *excellent* at what he does] that he could lose half his patients and not even blink.
He says if he gets put on a “fixed payroll” because of this, he’s doing his obligatory 20 hours a week and riding his Harley the rest of the time while his nurse practioners tend to his patients.
He is NOT gonna put up with this crap.
I doubt he sees the need to chide 0 voters because his office walls are covered with Vietnam and other patritotic stuff, US flags, autographed photos of W and ton of other right wing paraphenalia “warning” people “where they are”.
*He* is why I’ve been a nervous, sick wreck for a year.
I live in terror that we’ll lose him.
He’s already saved hubby’s life twice.
We -can’t- lose him.
How about referring them to the closest mortician. Since many lawyers love to bleed their clients and us, its time they got bled a little...or a lot.
bump
Expect him to be charged with racism and discrimination before the week is over.
Love it!
Pretty funny stuff. One even thinks doctors have to take you as a patient. Nope doctors can and do let patients go if they don’t get along.
Good for him.
Please share your strategies...........
Many of them already have.
