"Further, these 260 doctor-owned hospitals in 38 states provide 55,000 jobs, $2.4 billion in payroll and pay $509 million in federal taxes, according to the PHA."
Obama’s Fault
but, but, but, the AHA support this. That’s good. Right?
God forbid hospitals should be run by physicians who actually know something about health care. Much better that they be run by lawyers and politicians.
Politicians don’t like doctors, in part because they have been held at a higher level of respect in society than politicians are. There has always been an element of resentment by democrat politicians that has driven government takeover of health care.
Sounds like another lawsuit brewing to me.
I have come to conclude that on the day this so-called healthcare bill was signed, Obama gave us:
Fewer doctors
Fewer hospital beds
Much longer wait times (fewer providers)
Less medical research on devices and pharmeceuticals
Higher insurance costs
Much higher national debt
Other than that, it’s a great plan.

Because of Hussein the First hospitals must be
run by LAWYERS.
Great, huh?
They already drove up the cost of medicine and ruined
America.
Major civil rights lawsuits. Totally un-Constitutional.
On a similar note, many people do not know that an aircraft manufacturer is not allowed to own an airline. This is due to the 1934 Railway Act; the pilots union didn't want Boeing to be able to dominate the airline business with their horizontally integrated business known as United Aircraft (UATC)...and the airline that it had which was called United Airlines. Which still operates under that name, but has no Boeing ownership...
This is more of the same. The underachievers and thugs want to extort more money from those who can and do achieve by preventing them from owning the rights to their productivity.
Communist thuggery at its very worst.
save for later
The noose around the neck of our liberties tightens.
Imagine a mobile medical van with a doctor/staff that could handle all the little stuff, even minor surgeries. A doctor who doesn't need his patients to always go to a hospital, but a doctor who makes his rounds to their private homes.
I don't really know how it would actually really work, but if they are going to stifle hospital expansion what are the options? And honestly, if that's how this all goes down the last place on earth I want to go is to the hospital. They become dying centers instead of life saving centers.
So I am wondering what might a 21st Century “House Call Dr.” look like? What kind of patients would use him/her? How could technology facilitate the doctor patient relationship? What is the doctor hospital relationship look like?
Once I saw the AMA was supporting ObamaCare I expected this to be deleted. Guess not.

The organization says physician-owned hospitals have higher patient satisfaction, greater control over medical decisions for patients and doctor, better quality care and lower costs.
Obama said it’s time for change and here it is.
The list ,ping
Its called fascism folks...doctor owned hospitals are locally owned..AND community responsive...
