He probably realized that he’ll be one of the people who will be putting the screws to all of his fellow doctors once “Obama Care” kicks in.

Considering he IS a socialist/communist, I’ll go with the not paying taxes excuse.

Maybe they should ask Dr. G, the coroner lady. Methinks that’d be more appropriate. /s

Don’t know what her politics are, not assuming she’s a rat.

Yeh, I'd reckon he'd be the most qualified appointee on Zero's staff.

CNN’s medical expert??????????? hahahahaahhahahahahaha

Good thing he bailed — “Surgeon General” title would not have lasted long for that guy, I’m sure. Another “celeb” doctor. Thank you, NO!!!

Headline misspelled. Did I just misspell “misspell”?

Gupta Ops (should be Opts-out) or “Gups Opts Out”

Anyway, it is Gupta, Oops-ta, Gone-awayata.

Isn’t Gupta something you throw to stick on the wall, sorta lick slug-slime? Is it anything like Hawaiian “poi”?
How about Spackle? Rice-pudding? Barney Frank’s “Dippity-Doo” for his hair?

just asking.

"No tax problems or other issues arose during Nazareth's vetting, said the person, who requested anonymity..."

Yet the latest example of confirmation by official denial.
