Drs are literally walking out of this talk on implementing,complying with Obamacare.We are men and women of the mind not mindless drones. 1:37 PM - 21 Apr 2013

Dr. Kristin Held, a San Antonio-based opthamologist, is live-tweeting the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Government Relations session. The conference is being held this weekend in San Francisco.

The topic of the Government Relations session is complying with and implementing Obamacare. Dr. Held doesn’t like what’s she’s hearing, and she’s not the only one. Indeed, almost all the doctors have walked out of the meeting.

My cardiologist,a senior staff member at one of Boston’s major hospitals,told me when I saw him earlier this year that he was originally intending to keep practicing for another 5 years at least but thanks to OsamaObamaCare he’s retiring at the end of this year.And he’s a liberal democrat.He told me that the mumblings among senior physicians with whom he works is very negative indeed and many have,like him,moved up their retirement dates.

Doctors should pull an Atlas Shrugged and all go on strike until the monstrosity is repealed.

....or had their votes “counted” as being for Obama. There is a difference.

Dr. Held and her colleague rip Obama care with a fake Obama.... Well worth watching.

LOVE to see this kind of push back from REAL doctors!

My Grandpa lost his sight due to Mac Degen. Dad is fighting the same battle these days - as will I in the (all too soon) future.

We LOVE our doctors...for now and for as long as we can keep them!

I’m not ‘looking forward’ to my Golden Years of blindness in an 0bamaCareCenter. I expect to be abused on a daily basis - and the random beatings and theft from unskilled immigrant workers will be the LEAST of my worries!

HOW I HATE THESE PEOPLE! WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. WORST. CONGRESS. EVER.

They’ll merely do like they’ve done in other socialist health systems, import doctors from countries who are willing to work for less money.

********
My GP (while in his 50’s) and his PA wife retired not long after Obamacare was enacted. No way he was going to let the government dictate to him how to run his medical practice. While this was not a good thing for me, I totally understood and agreed with his decision.

They have the power. That is exactly what they should do before this thing destroys the greatest health care system in the world.

WE ARE SO SCREWED.

Will you please stop saying that?

I'm beginning to think you're some sort of agent from the left, sent to demoralize the Freeper community.

Geeez!

nobama lets out a tremendous cheer every time another Doc announces early retirement. Just part of the plan.

C’Mon...surely you know that the ophthalmologists are the bomb-throwers, the streetfighters, the anarchists of medical specialists. ;-)

What are the Rats that voted for this going to do when they need surgery and a very hostile crowd will certainly be hacking them up? Especially the ZeroBummer family.

“Guess the organizers must have expected Obama voters.”

I expect that Obama was able to at least buy-off neutrality from this bunch...so they expected to at least have a polite audience.

Well, they know what’s in the bill now, and they don’t appear all that happy.

Let me try to help you with your depression.

If you are happy with Obamacare I am happy for you.
