I've spent a lot of my life living close to medical schools.

Many of the physicians and dentists used to voluntarily treat patients on a sliding income scale, and often for free if you had a small, easily treated issue.

No more.

They all say the same thing now:

“Sign up for ObamaCare.”

...

If they work for the schools most likely they are being ordered by their liberal Democrat party connected bosses to get people to sign up.

If I understand right, hospitals used to set aside funds to treat indigents. This became "charitable" contributions against their income

Under ObamaCare, they can not write off these pro bono actions. In fact, they get a penalty per patient served w/o ObamaCare.

So much for caring for the 30,000,000 w/o medical insurance.
