After 19 years in so called private practice as a Family Physician (which I loved) I am now employed at a hospital doing hospital work only. All because I see the writing on the wall. Seeing our overhead go from 54% to 70% over those 19 years and now with all the computer and paper mandates to do this and that I made a change. I make over twice as much and actually have time off. I had to think of my retirement and decided in order to save enough money I had to change. It was a sad moment and many of my patients are without a physician.
That is just SO sad. All of the docs I personally know are good people and in the profession because they truly want to make people’s lives better if they can and help them. To have people like this driven out due to Obamacare is just unconscionable. When I see O up there bragging about how great Obamacare is, it makes me physically ill and that is no exaggeration.
My folks are elderly and my dad has serious heart issues - he’s a WWII vet and scared to death about what is coming with Obamacare, a state of mind he does not deserve at his age and in his condition. My 83 yo aunt just had axilobifem surgery Thursday ... she needed it, but what kicked her over the edge was being afraid Obamacare would deny her the surgery because she was too old and worthless.
Obamacare is just evil, plain and simple.
