I just retired last week earlier than I thought I would ten years ago. I have many doctor friends and acquaintances who have done the same (retired early) with ongoing evolution toward nobamacare. It is easier and retains your integrity to retire, watch over your investments and watch the sun set...rather than buckle under to the government control nobamacare entails. nobamacare = stay healthy or die. Good luck everyone.
I have two doctors, a GP and a dermatologist (all old redheads need a dermatologist) and neither one keeps their thinking about obamacare a secret. I haven’t kept my views a secret either.
If your doctor doesn’t hate Obamacare...you’re putting your health in the hands of a moron.
(At least you’re not gambling with something important.)
My family doctor at the time of the election told me he was voting for Obama. I switched doctors, I didn’t want anybody that damn dumb taking care of my family.
The next doctor (same clinic) I had moved my chart to also quit.
The area has expanded so fast with the oil boom, the clinics aren't accepting new patients.
So, thanks to Barry's wonderful universal health care, I have no doctor.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits!
My doctor hates Obamacare; he told me so.
The doctor that I’d been going to for about 15 years stopped practing medicine last year and I needed to find a new physician fto be my “Primary Care Physician”. Reason: Besides practicing medicine himself, he’d built his practice up over many years and now owned 26 clinics. Obamacare says if you own a hospital, and for some reason his 26 clinics qualified, then you can’t practice medicine in your own hospital, because it’s a conflict of interest.
I don’t think it’s a secret.
I don’t think it’s much of a secret. Only Obamacare backers could say that except denial would be a more descriptive term.
Nothing secret about it. In fact, it’s the best tool for convincing liberals Oldbumcare is bad—just tell them to ask their doctor what they think about it. All my doctors (the ones who are still in business) hate it, and are becoming noticeably more irritable.
Really? That's about all I hear! On occasion, he manages to squeeze in a few words of advice about the problem that brought me to his office!
Because of the AMA’s support of Obama care...their membership numbers are declining. All the doc’s I know are against Obama care.
In countries where medicine is fully nationalized, such as UK, doctors are obviously just highly educated civil servants.
As such, their compensation is determined not by their medical or business skills, or by how hard they work, it’s determined by politics.
In UK a few years back, doctors won a major pay increase, but this only prompted other civil servants to complain about the unfairness.
AFAIK, US is the only country where a medical degree is assumed to be a ticket to wealth. It is perhaps significant that even here this is a relatively recent phenomenon.
The best and the brightest (doctors) used to go into academic medicine.
They wanted to pass on their knowledge to the students, enjoyed teaching and also the challenges of working in teaching hospitals.
Teaching hospitals is the place the very sickest go because that is where the very best were located....not so true any more
The best and brightest either retired or moved to private practice.... we can only guess the trickle down effects this has on our current and future health care
No secret about it. My doctor will tell you flat out that when it goes fully into effect he is retiring. He is not selling the practice, he is closing it.
And so ends a practice that has been open for over 60 years.
It’s no secret between many of my patients and me. I choose the ones I talk to about it a bit carefully, but many of them bring it up from their side. Even libs offer unsolicited worries about where medicine’s going, how long I’ll stay in practice, what will become of them when I take down my shingle.
Secretly??? Roflmao! I am friendsvwith all my doctors and everyone tells me their disgust every time I see them.
