Won't be long now folks.
Once the `Affordable Care’ bureaucracy (administrators, support staff, IRS division—all with great salaries, pensions, benefits and federal employee work ethics) is in place, at that point we could cover it with garlic in its coffin, pour holy water over it and drive a stake through its heart ....
And It will just laugh, pull the stake out & snap it in half, then It will climb out & turn us upside down and empty our pockets.

Just happened here. My rates went up 20%, prescriptions up 15% and coin/dedct went up.
Also, my doctor of 20 years informed me he’s getting out while the getting is still good. He’ll retire at the end of 2013 and he’s only 61 (many good years left to serve). He told me that he’s not the only one to get out of the profession. Some docs are tempted to form their own “health care club” where people buy memberships of 2k just to get into the door.
