My GP doctor quit last month. Going to work directly for a hospital doing emergency room stuff. Hospital will cover all malpractice and legal issues, and he’ll get a guaranteed paycheck every week.

And the patients of this young, smart, hard-working family doctor?

Well, I don’t blame him... But it really messes me up, as my kids and I have chronic medical conditions.

I’m a diabetic on insulin. Type 1 not 2. My endocrinologist told me last week he might have to withdraw from Tricare*, due to government not paying out.

I’m screwed. Thank you, fellow dumb a$$ citizens!

*Tricare isn’t welfare. I worked my buns off for it. It, along with military retirement, is supposed to be “deferred” compensation.

My Internist joined a hospital group...He was a Lib.ha.
Its a very different atmosphere..with the computer records, etc. He now sends me to the doc-in-the-box if I need to be seen that day.

Congratulations Obozo voters!So much for the “relationship” bet pt and doctor.Its very changed. For the first time in 10 yrs I am considering “should I get him a Christmas gift?”

If you are a white conservative, your government is your enemy. If you are a white male conservative, particularly an older one, your government wants you to die. Obamacare will be used to hasten the demise of those groups who oppose Obama. That is the brutal truth.
