And soon, a hack with a rag saturated with chloroform will be paid the same as a board-certified anaesthesiologist. Its the same service, as long as the patient wakes up, isn’t it?
More accurately, doctors will be receiving the same fees as midwives. Nothing against midwives, but the doctors have a wee bit more training....
Wow. An RN gets the same pay as an Obstetrician. I retired too early. These people are imbeciles. No other word for it.
Funny how the midwives always have a doctor on speed dial.
Knowing the relative expertise of midwives at avoiding the problems too often caused by obstetricians and that the price of the insurance they have to pay is about the same, I'm not sure I oppose this for any reason other than that the government has no business controlling people's wages. IMHO, midwives are under-compensated because physicians control hospital organizations.
wow. way to destroy the medical profession!
Obamacare pushes us backward toward 19th century medicine. BO is turning this magnificent nation into Third World country before our very eyes. 21st century medicine, transportation, standards of living and a host of other benefits of modern life are being destroyed in his efforts at LEVELING. This is what Lenin and Stalin did to Russia.
I saw a statistic that 85% of children delivered by midwives are minorities.
This is obviously a ploy to give birth to more democratic voters.
Has ANY Medical Professional looked at the section of this Health Killer Bill, that states. Third Parties ie:Doctors Hospital, midwives etc. can be SUED as long as Medicare is named as a party. And Medicare doesn’t even have to participate. HELLO....Doctors Do You Hear THAT?
The leftist concept that the value of all labor is equal. I'm anxiously waiting to have one of these fools poised for neurosurgery. Send the surgeon home and call the janitor. All labor is of equal value, so the results will be the same. Nobody will notice the difference as the lefty brain was already damaged goods.
I have a friend with a Russian wife. He tells me just how little doctors make in Russia. His wife is an aeronautical engineer. Her standard of living in Idaho is much better than it was in Russia when she worked at her profession.
Even if lip services starts out on the high-end to buy votes, the reality will quickly be "the rich will have to pay their fair share here."

Yes. But, I can't help but ask why. Lenin thought it would be better for the masses, eventually. Stalin didn't care. BHO is race-driven, but he should be able to see that it won't help his chosen people to run the country into the ground. And what is it with Rahm?
The midwives are a comfort to have around for a mom with a normal delivery because they (1) spend more time with you; (2) have a better bedside manner; (3) to some people, are more 'real' in the hippie tradition, the wise-woman tradition, whatever you want to call it.
But a friend of mine who had a midwife almost bled to death. My sister in law had a midwife and almost died when the baby rolled over and constricted her vena cava. And another friend has a child with brain damage due to the midwife's failure to recognize cord strangulation. She says, "I wanted the midwife and the rocking chair. What I needed was a fetal monitor."
I had a completely uneventful, rapid delivery under the supervision of an obstetrician (who was a charming and highly entertaining guy to have on hand), but I had post-delivery complications (retained placenta) that he handled with complete aplomb. Thanks, I'll take the guy with the residency and the board certification. And with all the time he spent getting board certified, he deserves better pay.
The list, ping
I guess that means that I, with a hammer, chisel and pliers rinsed in isopropyl alchohol, would bet paid the same as an oral surgeon.
Of course, if it will improve my chances, I'd be willing to add the use of fishing line, a heavy wooden door and a brass door knob to my list of services as well.
Funny how the midwives always have a doctor on speed dial.

To clean up their mess.
Rahm, a socialist, is a power whore. He will do anything -- betray Israel, for instance -- in order to achieve and remain in the corridors of power.
It would be nice to have a couple of TEMPLATE letters posted somewhere where we can get and use to send to various elected officials. I know that I use the US Chambers letters when they send me a link.
Can we set up a site on Free Republic to have some canned letters that we can customize for our own use.
There won't be much wealth to spread, at this rate. Maybe thats more important to him than bettering the position of American Blacks, another theme of his. And you are right, Rahm is a power whore. Have you seen the side-by-side photographs of him and Goebbels? Eerie.
