You know, I totally understand. I think Obama is evil and I cannot imagine how awful it would be to be a doctor under ObamaCare.
Regardless, however - ‘making a point’ by quitting will not register on Obama. How do you know he doesn’t hope that happens, so he can get his minions in there?
Second, medical care is not really about Obama, is it? It is about the patients. “Showing him” will be satisfying in the short run, but who does it really hurt? — the patients, who also suffer under Obama but now have, who? The same immigrants who do computer-fix phone calls? Third-world doctors who flock in, and Obama does an executive order and, voila, they are running hospitals?
My dream - that doctors who care about their profession, who care about their patients, figure out some way to have their own practices without being tangled up in ObamaCare, so that patients can have good care. Would this be stepping outside the insurance tangle altogether? Having small private practices like there used to be? I don’t know.
I know, as a teacher, that I have been able to step outside the state-run schools by homeschooling and now by working with kids one-on-one, where I can teach them the Constitution, teach them our country’s wonderful history, etc. without having to bend to the union’s junk. I imagine that many good teachers within the union schools also teach what they believe.
I sincerely hope that doctors, too, will be able to proactively deal with this evil without ‘showing Obama’ that they don’t like him. I don’t think the fruits of that act will be bountiful.
I think my remarks should have contained a more complete explaination. Not all physicians will get out. Only those who are in a position to retire will get out. People who are near retirement, who have the means to support themselves and their families will ‘take the opportunity’ to exit. Many of us would have liked to continue for a ‘few more years’ will simply get out earlier. I do not think a physician crisis will ensue.
