If ObamaCare Passes, Will You Ever Be Able to Trust Your Doctor?

If and when ObamaCoup passes, one-sixth of the economy will belong to the feds. The American Medical Association (AMA) and all the other medical unions (that’s what AMA comes down to) will go to D.C. to get their money, against fierce competition from the psychologists and social workers, who are also trying to get their share of the loot.

WASHINGTON – Leading lawmakers hoping to revive President Barack Obama's stalled health care overhaul have started writing a compromise bill, but it's unclear when the legislation will be ready for votes, a top House Democrat said Tuesday. The measure would change the massive Senate-approved health bill to what bargainers from the White House, Senate and House agreed to last month, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said in a brief interview.

Thanks for all the great finds! They are full of themselves aren’t they?!....I’m old enough not to be impressed by much but the amount of hubris shown by the left is astounding. What a bunch of elitist.

It is. We have a spry elderly cousin who lives in Canada, near the Niagra Falls border, she fell a couple of years ago, broke her back, her primary care doc, refused to treat her, she cannot change her assigned doctor. He told her she was to old to go home and DIE. Thankfully she saw her great heart doc that week, and when he ask why she was moving so stiffly she told him. HE treated her for the broken back. She is her spry self again.

This is what 0 wants for us. She told us NOT to let them pass socialized med, it stunk to high heaven.
