Obamacare is intensifying the doctor shortage – though not in ways that were anticipated.
Everybody seems to have expected that Obamacare would sign up some 30 million people who don’t have health insurance, and they would overwhelm doctors’ offices. But these people – especially the young and healthy whose sky-high Obamacare premiums were supposed to finance everybody else’s subsidies – have stayed away. They know a bad deal when they see one.
Although the young and healthy aren’t going for Obamacare, the doctor shortage is intensifying, because government intervention generally is making it more expensive and difficult for doctors to do their job.
Government-run Romneycare – the model used for Obamacare – was enacted in Massachusetts in 2006, and a recent survey by the Massachusetts Medical Society found that half the state’s primary care practices aren’t accepting new patients. At practices accepting new patients, the average wait to see a family physician is 39 days, and the average wait to see an internal medicine physician is 50 days.

People keep talking about cash practices, unfortunately it won’t happen like you hope. Keep in mind they are still under the same regs, and they have to pay tribute to the POS lawyers.
"Everybody" failed to recognize that the cost of insuring 30 million uninsured was uninsuring 90 million insured.
Patriots and freedom fighters: It’s up to us to deny, refuse, obstruct and destroy the enemy in any way we can..let’s get it done. Turn that rage and anger into courage and fight for this country. Keep in mind soldiers of wars past and though you may get bloody, you must keep fighting until we win this war of our lives on OUR soil. Join forces with like minded people and keep yourself focused. And pray to the Lord for protection and guidance. Praise the Lord,and pass the ammunition.
