And it has started.

Just now I received a call from my diabetes doctor's office. She is closing her practice as of December 20th. A few months ago she told me she would retire rather than practice under obamacare. During today's call I found out that another doctor in the practice was also quitting for the same reason.

This morning my husband scheduled an appointed with his ortho doctor to have his second knee replacement surgery. She told my husband "It is about time. After February the doctor will no longer be taking patients or do surgeries.

Do any of you have a doctor who plans on quitting his practice because of obamacare?

My Doctor retired this year. Even before Obamacare he was fed up with forms, delinquent payments for Insurance and Government, disputes and partial payments with same that took up a lot of his time, lawyers, rules, regulations, paperwork requirements and general business regulations in the State on top of the fed. His wife is a lawyer, the only reason he survived his years in practice. Insurance coverage ate up most of his income and it was hardly worth working just to pay liability insurance. He was fed up already. He is only 55 but threw in the towel.
