My group is the only group at a mid sized suburban hospital. We have to take all patients admitted to the hospital no matter what their insurance or lack thereof. We do not have the luxury of turning down someone because of their insurance. And due to the expense of hospitalization there is no way we could do a cash only or concierge practice.
Medicare and Medicaid are bad enough. They just completely changed the rules on admission vs observation status on oct 1 with only about 2 months notice. My team and I has to learn an entirely new set of tules in a very short period of time guess wron, and they don’t pay.....I can only imagine what Obamacare will look like once it gets going
But who would want to be one of Zero's doctors?
Once upon a time, an MD degree meant a nice car and a big house in the suburbs and being on call on Christmas every few years.
Now it means delivering health care "as the Secretary may require" and losing your shirt in compliance costs.
Obviously, it would behoove a young person of above average intelligence to seek other lines of work.
Elections have consequences, especially if you get sick.
That’s why mine retired.
Yup. This could be the set up.
I heard a Democrat the other day blaming the mess on the fact that they had to give on the single payer requirement. No doubt that was and is their plan.
Another of my doctors, along with his partner, have consolidated their practices with a large medical combine. Same reason.
A third doctor has just plain retired at a youngish middle age....he also told me he's going to go to work for a hospital.
I pay for Medicare, of course, plus Mutual of Omaha, my supplemental insurance, has increased its premiums from $2100 a year to almost $5000 a year in the past 18 months ALONE thanks to ObamaCare. I'm getting deathly afraid to go through my mail and see an envelope with Omaha's company logo on the upper left!
Ah, the liberal Utopia is rapidly enfolding us, but methinks we'll be too tired, poor and ailing to even enjoy it.

we'll be too tired, poor and ailing to even enjoy it.
Certainly appears that way.
There is no healthcare in Obamacare.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
MEGA FAIL!!
Yep, I unfortunately reside in Maryland.
My husband’s doctor is probably on there, liberal nanny-stater that he is.
Think Richard Nixon's dreams.
Think enemies list.
“You may take one suitcase, a loaf of bread and a tin of jam. You will be housed, you will be fed”. Now get on the train, mach schnell!
All done by design; Holocaust II designed by OBayMe, Pelosi, Reid and the goons in the RAT Congress, ya think?
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
