I can sympathize with the doctors here, but this sort of thing was inevitable. It really has nothing to do with "ObamaCare," either.

The simple truth is that for about the last 50 years, the medical profession has been involved in the business of providing services to patients who cannot afford to pay for these services. It's really that simple. Very few people can really afford to pay for MRIs, CAT scans, hip replacements, bypass surgery, and all those procedures that have become so routine in our lifetimes.

What's changed now is that the entities that really have been paying for these things all these years (insurance companies and the taxpayers) are now in a position where they can't afford to pay for them anymore, either.

The success of any business is always tied to the ability of its customers to pay for the products or services it sells.

Welcome to reality, Doctor.

Government is SOLELY responsible for destroying health care. If the market was truly allowed to work (without any state/federal interference) then the pricing mechanism of the marketplace would function properly.

Anyone who believes the market has somehow failed has NO understanding of Capitalism and Freedom. ALL that the government touches, it destroys.
