I have no idea where you're going with this.

Unless you're asserting Physicians have self-interest and, that they, unlike every other industry, should not. This nullifies their objections to it in your view? How very collectivist of you! The truth is industry insiders are best poised to assess it, and the impact of legislative edicts. You are both impugning the author and his wife's profession's motives without addressing the merits of...well..anything substantive. Apparently, since you go after them personally I conclude you're not fond of physicians. Fine. Maybe your last prostrate exam was traumatizing. I joke, but you see how things deteriorate when you head to the sewer, and make it personal. If you can make a coherent argument for Obamacare, go ahead.

But you do realize, I hope, that the author's perspective is Obamacare is emblematic of the larger picture of our overall current and future condition, which is barreling toward greater state control, and away from personal liberty. Refer to the title for guidance.

You’re jumping to conclusions and making too many assumptions.

First off, where in my remarks do I sound “collective”? That’s a very dumb assumption, or a jump to a conclusion which is not merited at all. I would be the first one to attack Obamacare, and any of its supporters, as being socialist or big government advocates.

I’m only questioning the veracity of the “good doctor”, because, he is the one who is approaching Obamacare and the stimulus as, not having done enough for his wife’s future as a doctor in the U.S. If he had not brought up his wife’s predicament, and how the stimulus and Obamacare were of no help, then the rest of his statements would have had a lot more credibility. So, the question, again, is, if the wife had received the help she needed, from the stimulus and/or Obamacare, would he still have issued his negative remarks about the stimulus or Obamacare?

When it comes to current doctors and medical students, I’ve met a few whose main concern was, how Obamacare would affect their future. Granted that, each person has to look out for himself, but, in the medical profession, supposedly, the patients’ concerns were supposed to be the primary concern; either that, or the Hippocratic oath has very little meaning in current times.

Regarding Obamacare, I’m the first one to call it a monstrosity, and a destructive force, which will destroy this country a lot faster than the current big government social programs already in full implementation. My question is still, would people, on their own personal level, not mind Obamacare as much, if they were guaranteed to continue with their rich and rewarding careers?

The writer/doctor, inserted his wife into the article/discussion, and his approach took a personal angle, where, at least part of his motives, have to be questioned.
