I've sent a few of these to some Congressmen, hope they get the message!

My daughter, rather last-minute, told me that she was in need of a sports physical so she would be permitted to try out for the tennis team on Monday. Here it is, a Saturday, and she needs a physical. A friend of hers suggested the local urgent care clinic as being an excellent place for a reasonable cost. Off we went. Said physical has now been accomplished for a reasonable $30.
I decided to ask the doctor a question. It can be a little intimidating. I have no trouble socializing, and I enjoy talking with people, but I’m never sure of the type of response I’m going to get from a political question, and I was trying to be sensitive to the fact that others might be waiting to see the doctor. But, thinking of how Kevin always urges conservatives to arise from our stupor and start asserting ourselves a bit (in a polite way, of course), I took a deep breath as the doctor was getting ready to walk out the door and said, “Do you mind if I ask you a question?” The doctor turned right back around and shut the door. I then gave him a brief background of myself as a blogger and also of Hillbuzz and how Kevin is asking people to talk to doctors, ask questions, and really get to the bottom of what people in the medical industry think of Obamacare. I’m glad I asked.
The doctor was wonderfully pleasant and receptive. He responded right away, and we had an enlightening conversation. I gave him my take on what I thought about Obamacare, and he was in agreement. But, he gave me a wonderful analogy that helped to clarify things, which I’m going to share.

Scary...
I just read the comments that followed the piece. *gulp*
We’re screwed.
What? I just read all of them (25) and NONE are in support of Obamacare. So why are we “screwed”
Not pretty. Local republican groups should start having town halls in rat districts. Announce it and use the piece of obamacare that is bad as a theme.
You invite the local media and ask where the rep is. And you hammer it home until it goes viral. Wash rinse and repeat.
We’re screwed because it’s no sure thing that we can repeal the whole damn thing, as you can tell by the comments the changes are already HERE (defunding or no defunding!), and the damage to our medical system, in the form of retirements, etc. will be well underway by 2013, provided we manage to take the WH.
I know that my own doctor has told me that she intends to retire before practicing under this system of care.
meh

Read comments at the site.
Unless a doctor is young (under 50) and is already compromised by government-employee attitudes, many will early retire. Why would any independent-thinking, competent professional put up with all the governmental BS? Good luck, folks. nobamacare = stay healthy or die.
Answer:
The same sort of people who run our collectivist government schools: Toadies with the lowest SAT scores on campus.
Or, the other thing I heard on Mark Levin’s show (a nurse in Houstion):
“FNRs”
Foreign National Residents
(Translation: Doctors from third world countries. Think Muslim doctors like the ones that were involved in the nightclub bombings of a few years ago in London) She mentioned this the past week either Wednesday or Friday, second half of the show (he was out sick Thursday). I wish I’d saved the exact date and time so I could direct you there. According to her, this importation of doctors from foreign countries has begun.
Lovely.
As the Republicans head into “replace” mode, I suggest they crack open the medical schools that exist, and open many others.
This is already going on with Medicare & Medicaid patients. That’s why the Dr. is so familiar with the routine.
Many Dr’s will not accept Medicaid patients.
Others have gone to cash only to avoid Medicare patients and the hassles of insurance in general.
Is this group in support of Hillary Clinton? Odd, if so as she wants a health care system much like Obamacare.
How do they justify their remarks?
Yes, this group originally were Hillary supporters. It’s a bunch of gay guys in Chicago who are, what we would call Reagan Democrats. After they saw how HRC was rolled and cheated by the Dem Party in ‘08, they decided to work for McCain/Palin. They are very politically connected and active. They hate Obama and the Chicago Way politics with a passion.
I’ve been on their site since the ‘08 primaries and to the best of my knowledge, they have never given an opinion on HillaryCare. I get the impression that they became fans of hers much later than that, perhaps when she went to the Senate.
According to them, their affiliation with the Democratic Party ended once and for all on Christmas Eve, 2009, when the Senate passed their version of Obamacare. For them, that was IT.
They are independent conservatives now. And they are SP supporters; some of them met her in person when she spoke in Chicago last year. They are committed to her election, should she choose to run.
They spend a lot of time teaching conservatives how to overcome the various tricks the Democrats do, to shape narratives, cheat in elections, etc.
It’s never a boring read. Rush reads them daily and refers to them as “Hillbuzz” or the “Hillbuzz Babes.” Which is a bit of an inside joke now....the first time Rush quoted them on the air, he assumed they were chicks. LOL He later learned the truth, but sometimes uses “Hillbuzz babes” for a little bit of inside baseball with these guys. Which they love. LOL
A friend of mine uses TriCare. He was in an IED explosion in 2009. While he can walk he has problems with his spine. He knew he would need more surgery and just before Thanksgiving, the Doctors told him that he needed his next surgery sooner rather than later, putting it off would have serious complications such as loss of his legs. Schedules surgery for right after Christmas. TriCare calls him says they “fired” the surgeon and that they would call him to reschedule!!!
Not loss of his legs, but lose use of his legs. Sorry!
LOL Now that is interesting because I thought they were suburban housewives. I agree with their take on a lot of things except Hillary being rolled. Of course; they probably know more than I do about it. However, I do believe Hillary and Obama work for the same people, Soros and that guy from Indonesia; etc and they are most likely the ones who decided who should be the candidate now and there is a strong possibility Hillary will be in 2012. I also believe Hillary knew she would not be the candidate.
I say good for them as they continue the fight to do the right thing. America is exceptional because we are free to be independent individuals.
While they still are fans of Hillary personally, they have made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that even if Hillary runs in 2012, they are “all in” for SP.
For many of the reasons you mention (taking orders from the same people, doing Obama’s bidding, etc.)
They are an interesting bunch and a site to watch if you wanna see exactly how things go in Chicago.
Personally, I’m going to Morton’s Steak house for my meals.
Keep these two websites close, if something bad happens and we need to find affordable medication:
http://www.alldaychemist.com/ (Reputable pharmacy in India, shipping expensive)
http://www.northwestpharmacy.com/ (Reputable pharmacy in Canada, shipping affordable)
Both of these places charge about 10-15% of what we pay in the US.
