liberal doctors are beginning to realize that as state employees they will stop making bank and become like Cuba’s doctors.

I really have no problem with doctors "making bank"? I think you are implying that doctors should not "get rich". I cordially disagree.

Most people make decisions about their career/future early on. Doctors choose to spend many extra years studying and lots of extra money on there education, while others are graduating and begining their careers. They are motivated by many things, one of which is the prospect of a properous life once the formal studying is over.

Some people work harder and make more sacrifices. In America, that sometimes leads to being wealthy. I will never begrudge the industrious worker his right to be "rich".

I don’t think that’s what he was saying. I think he was making the point that the liberal AMA had no problem with Obama bullying a bunch of CEOs, reducing their salaries, etc. - but now, when Obama’s coming after the doctors’ own salaries, only then did they start protesting. It’s the AMA’s hypocrisy that is disgusting.

I have no problem with doctors making a lot of money. They’ve certainly earned it a lot more than the Jennifer Anistons and Michael Vicks of this world. I’m just disgruntled with the AMA for its promotion of double standards and its longtime support for gun control fascism.

I think the poster was referring to the hypocrisy of leftwing doctors. As they learn how they’re going to get hammered financially, they’re suddenly no longer keen on ostammercare.

No, you missed it.
I don't have a problem with doctors making what the market will bear. The entire context of the post is that liberal doctors who have pushed the liberal line and Obama are starting to realize that it is their livelihood that is now seeing the redistribution of wealth. Suddenly they are waking up.
