My cardiologist told me months ago he will probably quit when Death Care takes effect. I don’t know if his partners will continue without him, but he plans to bail out. I’m guessing he’s maybe my age or a little older (50s/60s). I can sympathize with his plight. He might as well get out while the gettin’ is still fairly good.

What will probably happen also is, not only will we have a shortage of doctors, but the ones who will be left will be substandard at best.

He ought to sell his practice now while he might still get a good price.

If he waits till Obama care take effect he may get no offers at all.

Yeah, times are tough all over....

So how is he ever going to survive if he's not raking in over $400K a year anymore?

Dollars to doughnuts, they'll be affirmative action doctors.

Brought to you by Barack Obama, the Affirmative Action DictatorTM.

Cheers!

They will be replaced by foreign doctors, with accents so thick you can cut them with a knife but not understand a word they are saying. The pittance medicare is reimbursing them is probably manna from heaven compared to what they would get in their native third world hell hole.

My thought is to take care of any health issue that is necessary or desired before it’s too late.

If its elective get it done now
