“Doctors won’t be given licenses to practice unless they cooperate within nobamacare. Do you think these statist goons would allow competition?”
I don’t know this to be true.....not saying it isn’t, and I do admit to not reading the entire bill.
I don’t know that private practice outside of the government mandates would be illegal. Reimbursement would be disallowed - I can see that, but cash for service, I think that would be difficult to disallow.
I think there will still be private practices but the average American citizen won't be able to afford them. They'll be for the rich and politicians while the rest of us have to suck up to substandard care.
For several years now in many jurisdictions doctors can’t renew their licenses unless they take mandatory hours of continuing education in such things as treating homos, treating minorities and multiculturalism. You must take those hours or you will not have your license renewed. The government has the docs by the balls.
