Mount Dora (Florida) doctor tells Obama supporters: Go elsewhere

Orlando Sentinel ^ | Stephen Hudak

[Straight Vermonter]

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."

I picked my doctor based on his donations so it works both ways.

Bravo! We need more people with morals like this.

“Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years.”

Got to love it!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Hasn’t he heard? Health care is now a RIGHT! People who put nothing into the treasury now have a right to force him to provide health care at no cost to them!

[Secret Agent Man]

Nothing wrong with that. Either you or the doctor. I think people would be wise to seek out those with similar beliefs and values. I wouldn’t want a doctor who can’t wait for Obamacare to kick in and start determining my care based on what the government says he can do or not do for me.

Got to wonder why 90% of all doctors don’t have such a sign posted.

...and the left goes hysterical...

[kaktuskid]

In other words, the urologist is telling the Ozombies to “pi$$ off”!

"If you voted for Obama…seek urologic care elsewhere.

If I needed urological care and voted for Obama, there is no way I would see this doctor! LOL!

[CriticalJ]

Racist. Bigot. Etc.

Nah. Good for him. It’s good for the idiots who voted for 0bama to get immediate negative effects instead of seeing them years down the road.

Now, this is what I've been talking about. If the Doctors, who are being made into overseers on this new plantation, would act in their own best interests, instead of paying protection money to dishonest lobbyists, the whole scheme would simply collapse.

The "right to health care" is alienable, and is therefore no "right" at all, and implies a right to the labor of others.

How high is Mount Dora? About 5’3”?

[N3WBI3]

For the same reasons farmers take subsidies..

[MilspecRob]

I assume the good Dr. will stop accepting medicare/medicaid claims?

[dfwgator]

We refer to that area as the “Florida Alps.”

Paging Dr. Galt!... Paging Dr. Galt!

Good idea. I try to profile them on where they went to school among other things. I never got over the book and movie “Not without my daughter”. That woman was a little older than me, but she grew up in a little rural Michigan town and we went to the same High School. Her husband was an Iranian Doctor supposedly embraced our culture and way of life. Ya right. Wonder if anyone ever researched the outcome of the patients he treated while he was here.

Mine kinda does...."We apologize, but we no longer accept Medicaid patients."

Maybe not word for word, but the point is made. And if I have an 8:30 appointment, I'm weighed in and sitting in an exam room at 8:30, out by 9.

[Defiant]

Well, the hillbillies gotta live somewhere.
