[Regulator]

Leaving before the stampede...

[uscabjd]

I thought obamacare didn’t take effect until 2014, or some such date.

If you link to the article in the Standard Bore you will enjoy some idiot comments by liberals who still do not get that they are being ruined by Obama.

"OBAMACARE has totally destroyed this freedom, especially as it applies to a hospital practice."

Obamacare was designed to destroy freedoms. Pretty much everything Obama touches is.

"who'll continue seeing patients at the private practice he's had in Hazleton since 1980"

He better enjoy the private practice while he can. That's one of the main targets in socialized healthcare, like up in Canada, where they are actually illegal.

And so it begins...

Ah, Obama, the cold wet blanket of communism personified.

In short order “We the People” will shove it up Obamas exit ramp.

"I fear for the future of the hospital as those in power in our country are seeking to replace the practice of medicine, the profession of healing, with an industry that produces health, but who will, intentionally or not, create a process that removes the unhealthy," Polidora said in his resignation letter.

...i.e., death panels.

[Wpin]

It is a matter of principle. That is why the good Doctor does not wait.

[FormerACLUmember]

ObamaCare is a national disaster of the first order.

[Rodamala]

From link:

While private practices don't have to file records electronically, being independent from a hospital means Polidora will no longer be able to perform surgeries.

Well, why the hell not? I'll be at my barber tomorrow... and I'll take a look at the sign on the wall and see how much he charges for setting a broken bone, pulling a tooth, and stitching up a bullet wound. I tell ya, that's the sort of healthcare reform we needed... transparent, competitive, cost-effective, and consumer driven... everything this monstrosity of a "healthcare bill" is NOT!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks angcat.

[angcat]

welcome ;0)

[YellowRoseofTx]

My GP quit as of the last day of last month, for the same reason

[Hoodat]

Who is John Galt?

[struwwelpeter]

He better make sure his tax records are up to date for coming spate of audits.

[max americana]

As a former resident, dont get sick in Vancouver/BC. You might as well put a gun to your head. The poorest wards in the Philippines makes the hospitals there look 3rd world and I;m not making this up...

To be a true physician, one must be moral. To be moral requires freedom, both political and economic.

This doctor gets it.

To be a human being, one must be moral as well. Of course that is the aim of so much of socialism: to turn us into animals that are just part of the herd.
