One of my doctors is a Black woman as well. I don't know where she stands politically. I am assuming that she was/is an Obama supporter simply because statistically, nearly all American Blacks did vote for the ONE. But on my last visit she warned me that she may not be in practice next year. Why? The changes brought on by Obamacare and the changes she sees coming down the pike in the next 10 years or so. The government takeover of medicine has disrupted her practice and caused hardship, frustration, higher employer expenses through increased documentation requirements for the federal government. She said that the fun has gone out of her profession and is actively trying to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life.

Who is going to pay back her loans (if they are not paid off already)? What job outside of medicine will afford her that ability?

I haven’t discussed politics with mine either and even though she seems to be conservative, with conservative values such as being married, having her kids in wedlock, going to college, etc. I have known other educated blacks that voted for Obama just to say they voted for the first black president. She is younger than me but still middle age (40’s or so) and I don’t expect her to stay a doctor to an older age either.
