The SOBs --all of 'em behind the ruse-- know this all too well.
In fact the outcome's so obvious it'd be overkill for a Nostradamus. LOL

Makes me wonder exactly how complicit the ol' AMA is in all of this baloney. I mean if squelching Tort reform worked so well for the shysters why not the physicians, visa vi their uber-lobby?

Good grief, it's nothing more than a free-for-all.

I've heard doctors say they might retire. The supply will decrease and the demand will greatly increase.
I've thought about what the government response will be. My guess is that the government will end medical training as we know it and create a new class of politically correct medical staffers with minimal skills. You will no longer be treated by a a trained physician but rather by a communications or polysci graduate with a few medical courses thrown in. They will work for far less than the current doctors and be glad to have a secure government job with pension and benefits.
As unemployment approaches 20% and jobs are hard to come by we will be forced to wait in line for hours at a government facility to see one of these new "doctors". If anyone complains there will be ACORN type thugs to take care of them.

My doctor and my dentist are now only seeing patients with certain insurance. It no longer pays to see government sponsored program patients or people with certain insurance plans that pay next to nothing, are a hassle to get paid by, or refuse to pay for important procedures or medications.

FYI, there was a demonstration by physicians in Washington against ObamaCare two days before the big 9/12 rally. (Of course, it received absolutely no attention in the MSM.)

Here, however, is a report in the news bulletin of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons:

On Sept. 10, 1009, "Dr. Smith" went to Washington.

Nearly 1,000 physicians left their practices to travel, at their own expense, to the Capitol. After meeting with their congressmen, they came to a rally in the Upper Senate Park, organized by AAPS and Tea Party Patriots, to tell Congress to "stop meddling in medicine."

Speakers included physician/congressmen Phil Gingrey (R-GA), Tom Price (R-GA), and Paul Broun (R-GA), and practicing physicians representing AAPS, Docs4Patient Care, Physicians for Reform, and the D. C. Medical Society.

The event was prompted by the AMA's support of bills that would turn more control over to government.

"The AMA's endorsement of H.R. 3200 was bought and sold, at the expense of patients," said Seattle neurosurgeon Michael Schlitt, M.D., who spoke at the rally. "I couldn't stand by without telling Congress and the public that the AMA doesn't represent me, or most doctors I know. And it's time Congress listens to real doctors from the front lines."

Before the rally, two shifts of six physicians held signs in front of the AMA's D. C. headquarters: "Honk if you support your doctor," or "the AMA has sold out patients and physicians." Numerous people stopped to talk," reports AAPS president Mark Kellen, M.D. "They were genuinely interested in our point of view, and 9 out of 10 agreed with us that socialism is bad for America," he said.

"To embrace a collectivist system ... and thereby jeopardize sustained economic growth, inevitably misallocate scarce resources, and almost necessarily perpetuate destitution, hardly merits moral acclaim. Indeed, intellectuals in general and church leaders in particular who bewail the continued existence of poverty absolutely defined, and who state that they yearn for a world in which the hungry are fed, the naked clothed, and the destitute housed, yet who ceaselessly undermine the very system which, to date, has best done what they claim to value most, are, surely, moral imbeciles." --The Reverend Doctor John K. Williams, here:  http://freedomkeys.com/gap.htm

The most distressing and disturbing thing was to see all those “Doctors” at the White House being handed white coats to participate in staged government propaganda.

Even worse, is the concept of these supposedly educated people willingly cutting their own throats in the name of starry-eyed liberal ideology.

Good God.
