ObamaCare punishes cardiology and oncology to finance GPs.

From Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus's health-care bill to changes the Administration is pushing in Medicare, Democrats are systematically attacking specific medical fields like cardiology and oncology. With almost no scrutiny, they're trying to engineer a "cheaper" system so that government can afford to buy health care for all—even if the price is fewer and less innovative ways of extending and improving lives.

On of the elements of this plan is that board-certified specialists will be paid no more than a nurse practitioner for a procedure.

So, who do you want to replace that bad valve in your child's heart, a surgeon with 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, a 1 year internship, a 3 year residence in general surgery and a 2 year fellowship in cardiac surgery and a further year in pediatric cardiac surgery, 15 years training, and probably another 5 years of experience to become board certified... or a nurse with 18 months training after nursing school?

Thanks, Mr. Obama!

In the bowels of the Hillary Care bill was a provision that would have limited the number of medical specialists by controlling medical school admissions. Heeding the ideas of Ezekial Emmanuel, Obamacare would deny “expensive” care because it if often given to the “non productive” elderly. However, there would be no cuts in CT and MRIs for the 25 year old illegal immigrant with a knife in his chest from a gang fight.
