"They start this coming January, when Medicare payments to doctors are set to be slashed by 31 percent. That’s right, by 31 percent. If you don’t think current Medicare beneficiaries are going to have trouble finding a doctor who will see them after the government starts paying those doctors 31 percent less, you probably failed Econ 101."...

This happened on CNN? Are you sure?

Oh, come now.
I'm sure there are plenty of leftist doctors out there who will understand that it's their patriotic duty to give back and absorb the decrease.

Hell, it's every Democrat doctor's duty to volunteer to provide pro bono services to those poor wretches who are stuck on their couches and just cannot seems to find work at a "living wage" ($100,000 or more).

Those self-same doctor ought to be writing checks to these poor people as well as providing their services at no cost.
And send them home with a full gas tank, their cell phone time topped off and a back seat full of groceries.

Just ask Obama - it's their patriotic duty!
