“How very Soviet of her. How about we force food stamp recipients to mow our lawns and wash dishes?”

Food stamp recipients already make their contribution to society by being guaranteed Democrat voters.

So we’re supposed to force Doctors to accept Medicare and Medicaid, but it’s unreasonable to force Congressional staffers to accept Obamacare?

[Uncle Chip]

They already do to some extent — that’s why there are so many of the best doctors retiring.

She is just revealing the Liberal endgame: we are all slaves to the Dear Leader.

The totalitarians always resort to force as a response for their failed policies.

While we’re at it, we could also raise the minimum wage to $100/hr.

You have no idea how many of the physicians are cutting back or retiring. Some are putting it off for a while until either their kids get out of college or their alimony payments stop but 95% of those over 50 are making plans.

Yes democrats, do it at gunpoint, you know you want to...lets get this show on the road.

Well if they have to renew their license to practice medicine every so often the state could make them take ACA insurance otherwise their license wouldn’t be renewed. OTOH - they’ll flat quit.

[yldstrk]

wow, do you think doctors will be legally allowed to move out of Virginia?

Our beloved Virginia has been overrun...just like California.

You would think that when your party is BURYING a hole that is getting harder and harder to get out of, you wouldn’t want to that hole get deeper faster.

How do you BURY a hole? ...wouldn’t WANT TO that hole get deeper faster?

Someone apparently needs to learn the English language.

The AMA is dominated by left-wing lotus-eaters in academic and government medicine. Most doctors in private practice want nothing to do with it at best, and hate it like grim death at worst.

Last I heard, their membership was only 17% of all physicians. And those 17% probably do 5% of the actual work of seeing patients.

My doctor also. I have been trying to convince him to go into a concierge practice - I would rather put him on a retainer, and use my TriCare (try: we don’t care) for catastrophic things.

Yes, but a lot of sidelined doctors will be moving back into the profession.

I understand. As a male ‘patient’ it is damn near as bad. I went to a ‘cardiologist' last summer for what I suspected to be a mild heart attack. Damn Camel Jockey ‘doctor’ could not or pretended he could not understand me. After several hundred or thousand dollars worth of tests, he still did not know what was going on. I decided then and there that I was not going to see one of them again.
If what ails me cannot be cured at GNC or with ale, it is jsut too damn bad. Granma can just collect the insurance. Well, unless they decide to make life insurance more affordable. T

Amerika? I think not.
