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.

I tell you, this comes from those in healthcare themselves. there is NO respect for doctors anymore, and I find it appalling. As an RN, I correct my fellow RN’s all the time when I hear it. We treat these people with so little respect, yet they are the reason so many of us are alive at 70, 80,or beyond. They are hardworking, extremely intelligent people who deserve the best and every PENNY of what they earn!!

— but I’m sure Obama would say they didn’t “build” those medical practices on their own!!

At one point in our history, being a doctor had a great deal of prestige. Frankly, a lot more prestige than money.

It was a cheesy lawyer who made enough millions suing doctors to run for president. Unless a doctor becomes a businessman and owns clinics and hires other doctors, he'll never see those kind of bucks.

People became jealous and envious of the prestige, and politicians fed off the resentment. Putting doctors down became cocktail party conversation.

It's just another kind of class warfare. I'm actually looking forward to those cocktail partiers discovering that their doctor is quitting early to seek a modest retirement.
