I have a conversation with an urban pediatrician—he is happy about all the incentives that Obama has given his physician group and they are so thrilled they are building a new facility. I asked him what will happen to that money in the future? No idea. He wanted to discuss benefit plans—why?—to reduce his taxes.
I frequently get information from another pediatrician about the wonderfulness of Obama, leftist policies like min wage increases, other craziness. The pediatricians seem to be the worst when it comes to leftist idiocy. Even more galling is that both these physicians are immigrants from an impoverished third-world socialist country. To them, it is the government being generous and helping people. They see no connection between this kind of idiocy and the poverty that dominates much of the world.
pediatricians are at the part of medicine that is seeing big cuts because most kids are healthy and only the intensive care pediatricians or sub specialists do billable procedures. They are jealous that they went to med school but because they don’t stick needles in kids, manage vents or cross clamp kiddie’s aortas...they don’t make the cash. Perfect recipe for liberals... ENVY.
