what cha wanna bet the foreign doctors unionize first.
ObamaTAX™
Fundamental Transformation™
I'll take that bet. I was in the hospital back in April for what was initially diagnosed as a heart attack. Each of the doctors that saw me came here from different countries.
The ER doctor was from Czechoslovakia, don't remember his last name. The GP was from Poland (Swara was his last name), the Cardiologist from Italy (Martini was his last name, no kidding.) Not that I initiated the political discussions with them, but they asked what I thought of Obamacare. I said I hated it and thought it was a huge mistake.
Each of them nodded their heads saying they'd left socialist medicine systems to practice in the US, and now the same failed system was coming here. (Note: I'm paraphrasing a bit, but that's the net effect.)
The second day I was in the hospital, the Cardiologist came by to discuss my test results before releasing me from the hospital and we talked a good ten minutes or so about the damage Obamacare would do. The hospital cardiologist was in his late 40's I'd say, pretty close to my age. Obamacare really disturbed him.
Fast forward a week later and now I'm seeing my cardiologist who's been treating me for a few years now for an erratic electrical pattern around my heart. I overheard him in the next exam room talking to a patient he was very familiar with about his two sons that had graduated college in the last few years. One graduated in 2010 with a law degree and passed his bar exam on the first try. He still doesn't have a job and is living at home. The second son has a MBA and graduated last year. He can't find a job either.
Now my cardiologist is well respected in the Chicago area, he's rated one of the tops. His kids have had every advantage and have top notch educations. My cardiologist is seeing the impacts directly of Obamacare and its effects on the economy. He openly stated to the patient in the next room he HATED Obamacare and couldn't wait to see Obama turned out of office.
I'll take your bet that foreign doctors want to unionize, what do you propose we wager?
