Other things that scare doctors.

1) Only a fool of a doctor will now accept patients on Medicare or Medicaid. They are no longer worth it. As doctors leave the system, there will be no doctors willing to take on these patients.

2) Government controlled insurance is even less worth it. So many doctors will likely migrate to cash only, where they can offer medical care for half the cost, and make more profit at the same time.

3) This will mean that patients will be obligated to buy insurance they do not use. Or pay the penalty fine for not buying insurance, which may cost less. A tax with no benefit to them whatsoever.

4) The quality of care on the government system will go to hell. Which seems to be fine as far as the socialized medicine crowd are concerned. Equally crappy and dangerous health care for everybody is better, by their lights, then good health care for the vast majority.

5) The passport regime will probably become increasingly strict to prevent the sick from traveling to Mexico for better quality health care.

Your No. 2 observation (doctors migrating to cash only) would be difficult I’d think, due to the “enforcement” aspect of Obamacare. I’d think Obama “agents” would “visit” any doctor “reported” for working on a cash basis. (I hope there are a few who will do that; but I think it’s probably doubtful.)

Isn't that because Obamacare's biggest fans (in congress in particular) are exempt from having to be subjected to it? Demand that if anyone must participate, ALL must do so!
