They will start drafting doctors I guess. This is not a government that smiles on personal freedom.

My family doctor, who I am seeing today, has already said that he will retire (prematurely) if this passes.
My good friend, who is my age (50), has already said that he will quit rather than submit.
They can’t quit! We have a constitutional right to health care don’t we?
When the government is the sole source of student loans, who can guess what the terms will be for medical students?
I know a couple of doctors as well who plan to retire early.
Who’s going to go through the effort and expense of College, Medical School, Residency just to become a government employee? This 0bama crap sandwich still leaves them subject to bogus lawsuits, because heaven forbid we address tort reform.
Draft? How about repealing the 13th amendment for people with medical degrees. Who are they to withhold their skills from the Collective?
I will repost a reply I posted to another post about the Baucus plan:
My husband is a physician seeing almost exclusively elderly Medicare patients. He is over 60 years old now and expecting to practice for another 10 years.
If this proposal on the cuts and then freeze of Medicare payments actually goes through, there will be between 700 and 800 patient visits that will not be made in nursing homes in Alabama per month because he will retire and then will be receiving his share of Social Security payments which will cost the government (aka taxpayers) even more money. Way to go, Bobby Bright, Obama, Max Baucus and the rest of you RATS.
Do they really think that the Obameinfuhrer will let them withhold their valuable skills from the proletariat...errr....I mean, government...no...I meant The People...yeah...that’s what I meant...The People?
There will be a Doctor Draft in the future to insure that they do their patriotic duty. Oh yeah. Nothing but the best possible medical care from doctors who are slaves!
I am aware of many Internists and Family Practice doctors who feel the exact same way. They refuse to part with their hard earned money to fund Obama’s Nanny state affairs. Paying for Illegals and all this other cra! while p!ssing all over America and Americans.
The population will be adjusted to match the number of doctors available.
Google, The Doctor’s Plot. Communists always had a special hatred for doctors. Especially Jewish doctors.
That’s the thing that most leftist sheep are blind about - someone will have to “hold the whip” in order to “cooperate” with their plan.
The leftist “shepherds” already know this, however. They envision themselves holding the whip.
Draft? Your funny.
If that were to happen, I contend that many doctors, majority of which in the United States are from foreign countries and trained in the United States would simply move to another country or return to their native country where they have support and family and would shaft the American financial system by never repaying their loans.
Kinda makes you think that that might be their goal...
The “villains” of the fascist Visitors in ‘V’ were the doctors, as well.
I know it’s fiction, but it demonstrates anyone with special knowledge is always a threat to the elitists in power.
