Thanks to ObamaCare, You May Soon Get Medical Treatment from People Who Lack Medical Training

Watch for chiropractors to also lobby hard to be primary care providers. Obamacare will reduce primary medical care to waiting in long lines in some government clinic for a 10 minute visit with a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner. Referral to see an actual doctor might take weeks or months and referral to see medical specialists will be routinely denied. Large specialty groups like the Mayo Clinic will cater primarily to foreigners and those with the money to pay cash. I also expect private clinics to spring up offshore where those with the cash can be seen by real doctors and specialists.

This dispute only presages what will happen to American Medicine. Thousands of "MD"S" from Third World countries are flooding into the U.S. Many will wear ebony masks with feathers on the ears and really shake a mean rattle. God Help Us!

What is now the middle class will be ever forced into peonage and will be required to be treated by these doctors. The politicians and the very rich will get the finest American doctors.

DeathCare and HIPAA, both laws enacted by Congress, are diametrically opposed with regard to records and dissemination. To obey one and not the other is a crime, with steep penalties.

C’mon ambulance chaser, there has to be at least one of your profession with integrity enough to step forward and attack this invasion of privacy. It is cruel and unusual punishment.

For the individual, do not consent to your doctor sharing information without your consent. Sue them if they don’t comply.

As I understand it, California is already pursuing the enabling of nurses and other less-trained medical professionals to perform abortions.

A family member of mine currently in nursing school is being trained on how to give a complete physical, for what it’s worth.

Thanks to Obama we have already received presidential amateurism from some guy who lacked the proper leadership training.

Where I live Nurse Practitioners are taking over.

I went to a Neurologist and was found to have Peripheral Neuropathy, I saw the doctor there once, it’s been his nurse practitioner ever since.

The only thing that matters is that they are members of the SEIU.

Well, now that that pesky Constitution with its limits on the government is out of the way (thanks, Justice Roberts!), we can REALLY get the process of dismantling the best medical system the world has ever known into full gear!

nobamacare = stay healthy or die

Good luck, suckers.

Think coastal ship clinics. I've been saying this for the last several years.

I've actually had no problem with them. We should be thankful.

It's the optometrists and chiropracters doing surgery I'm concerned about.

Ha, ha! I immediately thought of Idiocracy. Good screen image. I never noticed the name on the door before; “Docter Lexus”. What a brilliant, and scary, movie.

Obama can’t wait to fill any doctor shortage by importing “doctors” from Muslim countries, as Britain has done in their National Health Service.

“Thanks to ObamaCare, You May Soon Get Medical Treatment from People Who Lack Medical Training” yes but they’ll be wearing condoms while they work on us so it will be just fine. Besides pointing out untrained doctors never fed a hungry child - none did it? I’m waiting!
