"Welcome to ObamaCare. Now bend over and let me see those expensive tonsils."
Amen Dr. Thank you for speaking up. Wish more people in your profession and around the country would do the same.
““President Obama should be ashamed of himself for trying to scare Americans into supporting his government takeover of medicine by falsely accusing doctors of making children sicker. I have never heard a more disgusting or blatantly phony conspiracy theory. We treat our patients with the respect, care and concern you will never find in Obama’s government-run rationed care bureaucracy,” said Dr. Kerr. “
Yeah, and they say Birthers are crazy.
He might think twice before canceling movie-night at the Whitehouse next time.
Get in line behind the ‘racist’ cops.
"Welcome to ObamaCare. Now bend over and let me see those expensive tonsils."
Why the hell would anyone want to go to med school anymore? We are in deep dod doo.\
Its a lot of school for no reward.
Good one.
So according to Pres. Urkel a doctor is going to perform a surgical procedure on a kid that will require postoperative visits for 90 days INCLUDED in his anticipated $270-290 fee when that same doctor can be giving this child palliative decongestants and parent demanded antibiotics for a course of 4-5 visits compenstaed at $75-150 per visit AND STILL NEEDING A TONSILLECTOMY in the future.
I don’t know how you run a business Mr President .....oh never mind, I forgot you never ran anything in your life.
IIRC, decades ago physicians found that children with continuous allergy problems were sometimes (maybe often) cured of their allergy problems when their tonsils were removed. It has something to do with the immunoglobulin response triggered by otherwise non-offending allergens irritating the tonsils.
Wasn’t Obama the one who said as Clinton did that people who try to make you afraid are lying to you? But that was when he was trying to get elected on a very poor security platform and his stance on terrorism was shake hands play nice hope and change ...
Now it’s scare the hell out of them, it’s the only way we can get what we want?
Just goes to show what kind of people in the won’s orbit.
Too rich!
How is that hope & change working out, OBAMA?!
Good thing Obama played the race card at the end of the “press conference,” otherwise, this would have been the story everyone was talking about today.
[Setting: Healer's apartment]
TOR: (Pouring tea) Your tea is ready now. This will solve your so-called tonsil problem. It's a special concoction. It contains crampbark.
JERRY: I love crampbark.
TOR: Cleavers.
JERRY: Cleaver, I once had cleaver as a kid. I was able to lift a car.
TOR: And some couchgrass.
JERRY: Couchgrass and crampbark? You know, I think that's what killed Curly.
(Tor hands George the tea. George isn't willing to drink it right away. Jerry looks skeptical, Kramer, on the other hand, is enthusiastic)
Coming soon—TV ads inviting people who had their tonsils out to sue the doctors responsible. Could be another goldmine for trial lawyers.
Then he accused doctors of running up bills & perform tonsillectomy's just to rack up higher bills to the patient and/or insurance companies, he spent his first 5-10 minutes complaining that he inherited a financial crisis (blamed on Bush for sure) he engaged in class warfare against the rich, etc etc.
The wheels are coming off on the commie bastard's wagon, and I think the public and even some liberals elements of the media are waking up to the evil actions of this SOB.
Let’s see who Obama can insult next. The Boy Scouts are always available. Maybe The Little Sisters of the Poor.
As I said on another thread, I’ve been a Pediatric RN for over 20 years, and I can say with CERTAINTY that there are far less tonsillectomies being done today than 15-20 years ago. Everything this Marxist says is baseless. This is reprehensible.
Here it is - the rationale for substituting Government healthcare decision making for your doctor’s. Goes against all promises made.
In spite of his affirmative action, curved, slow-pitch Ivy League education.
