Healthcare bill - the end of physician 'right of conscience' ( 95% will leave )
One News Now ^ | November 6th | Pete Chagnon

The CEO of the Christian Medical Association says government-run healthcare will mean the end of right of conscience for physicians.

The House promises a vote on healthcare reform by Saturday, although a version of the bill would still need to be approved by the Senate. Dr. David Stevens warns if that happens, many will feel inclined to leave the medical profession.

"It's going to damage right of conscience for faith-based healthcare professionals. We actually surveyed 2,800 faith-based doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and 95 percent of them said they will leave healthcare if it came down to violating their conscience on abortion, human cloning, physician-assisted suicide, and other issues," Stevens reports. "And this bill, particularly the one in the Senate, provides absolutely no protection, even though it's guaranteed to us in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights."

The whole damned thing is unconstitutional. We will undo everything Nancy Pelosi and Obama’s thugs have done.

And does anybody actually think Democrats don’t know this? They WANT to make conditions in America Hell. They WANT America’s economic system to go down the toilet. They WANT to destroy the Sacred Freedoms America has.

They want America dead. They want what’s left of it to become a Socialist dictatorship.

YESSSSSSSSSSS! Thank you for saying that. I know that that is what is going to happen. I’ve seen the Tea Party rallies, I’ve been to five protests since April 15 and my sixth one is next week, there are millions and millions of us and we will fight back with everything we’ve got. We will survive this nightmare, undo as much as we can of this godawful mess, we can do it, YES WE CAN!!!

Nah. Nancy and Barak will just pass a law requiring them to keep working for the health care system. It’s easy when everything and anything is both permissible and constitutional.

And non-muslims will not go to them. I can see a booming medical underground and clinics in outside tourist destinations doing land office business.

“MAKE US!” the doctors and nurses will say as they walk out of the clinics and hospitals for the last time.

Where is the judicial branch? Where are the checks and balance one branch over the other?

Hahahahahahaha. I’m sorry for laughing. You must have just arrived from 1960 in a time machine. There are no flying cars. The cities aren’t Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired utopias. And the Judicial Branch is too busy outlawing Jesus to worry about the consitutionality of communism.

When you go back, can I get a ride? Please!

I can picture a complete collapse of the health care system if they get their way.

I'm not trying to be funny or dramatic. But I can see many doctors walking out. Total chaos.

This is really starting to look the Soviet Union.

Nice words. Wonder what it’s like to have a government that actually understands them.
