I’ve been seeing notices in some doctors offices stating that due to costs Medicare is no longer accepted.
Correction: Will Drive AMERICAN Doctors Out of Medicine!
Medical service will be limited to Concierge medicine or get in line and pray for the Government program.
Just Like most Communist and Socalist countries that who gets Health Care
The King’s goal is to lower America’s health care system to sub-3rd world standards while doubling or tripling the cost for it.
Never mind Obamugabe and his DESTRUCTION of America; did you hear about the 5 term Congressman from Missouri had a GAFFE?!?
THOSE GAFFES ARE WHAT IS IMPORTANT! (off conservatives who get pushed around mode)
Problem is if politicians promise everyone ice cream and a pony, there might not be enough ice cream or ponies to go around.
So now, Obamanistas, what?
Spoke with a relative whose a practicing physician over the weekend. He made the point that incuring $500,000 debt on medical education made no financial sense.
His recommendation to a niece was “become a nurse rather than a doctor. It’s less expensive to get there and the return is faster.”
Obamacare: If the “death panels” don’t get you—the “doctor shortage” will.
Anyone who says cutting $700 Billion in payments to Medicare providers won’t result in reduced care for Medicare patients is a liar, and anyone who believes it is an idiot.
The word I am hearing is that some doctors are fleeing to Alaska, thats correct, why?
Alaskan doctors charge nearly three times the going rates for most procedures, also Alaska has opted out of Obamacare.
No Obamacare for Alaska, the native hospitals are bigger and more funded than the white peoples fix-it clinics, there is a lot of military retirees here and not much of any typical ghetto except for a neighborhood in Anchorage and most of the Mat-Su Valley trash, but then I’m one of the Valley Trashers.
But in Alaska they have a Office of Childrens Services, which has the power to take away your wages, your property, your drivers license and to deny your application for a passport thus keeping you a prisoner.
what about medicAID patients?
Can the government currently force doctors to accept Medicaid or Medicare patients? I know that was an issue with Hillarycare.
I predict that is the next shoe that will drop this year if the dems remain in control - forcing doctors to accept certain patients.
What’s described in this article is just phase 1 (doctors refuse new patients on medicare) in the destruction of our healthcare system. Phase 2 will be the government stepping in and mandating that doctors see a certain percentage of medicare patients. Phase 3 will make it illegal to refuse care to any Obamacare insured patient, and doctors will leave practice all together and people that would have become doctors will seek careers somewhere else thus causing a crisis in access to healthcare. Everyone will be insured and there will be no doctors to see them.
ping for later reading...
If you think public service unions are big wait until Obamacare takes hold,every healthcare giver will be unionized by the millions of them.
Ask Obama voters to step up and be the first Medicare patients dropped from the practice.
Are you REALLY going to re-elect the people who did this America?
If I was a lib, I’d be wiping my butt with common people too. :(
IMO, the whole idea of OC was to drive physicians out of Medicare to the point where the government can claim it must “nationalize” health care and force (greedy) physicians to work for the government.
Honestly, what arrogance drives one to believe that they can cut down a doctor’s pay and they’ll still keeping giving their all? I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to people talk about healthcare with complete disrespect for doctors in their voice, as if they can have one without the other.
