My doctor did the same thing .. sending me for a lot of wellness type tests - that my insurance already paid for on a regular basis.

My doctor said he wanted to build a timeline to show that I didn’t have any major issues at the time ObamaCare went into effect.

I’m not sure why that matters, but he seemed to feel it was imperative that I have it done. I think I need to get one of those books about ObamaCare .. and try to find out if I will be getting any care at all.

I don’t take any prescription meds, and I usually see my doctor a couple of times a year; unless I get a sinus infection.

Glad to hear your Dad is doing okay.

All of you keep saying “doctor bills” when you mean “hospital bills.”

I'm perfectly aware of the whole doctor/hospital bill thing.

I wasn't talking about bills, though. Doctors will go underground to avoid the gov't regulations/fees/etc.

No, they will not. They will not make themselves available. They will quit. Doctors are pretty smart people, unlike lawyers.

Doctors who are retiring are remembering a lifetime of career stress brought on by people who resented the "rich doctor" and spitefully enjoyed the misery that the malpractice situation brought to doctors' families.

Now they are picturing the families of lawyers and plaintiffs and spiteful public who won't have the doctor to kick around anymore...and won't have medical care, period. Kidney stone? Pain? Not my problem.

Hey, you lawyers who sued OBs out of business....go squat in the pasture like Senator Squaw Warren to have your babies. No epidurals for YOU.

Based on your replies, I believe that I know more doctors than you do.

You're wrong. There's a non-financial reason most go into medicine.

Doctors cannot "go underground" unless they give away their services, and buy treatments which they also give away, and accept negligence liability for giving it away.

Maybe the doctors you know so much better than I are vets? Animal docs? People complain that their vets are so much more simple and fair in price than MDs. To which I reply, "How many vets malpractices lawyers do you know who make enough money to run for president?"

(like John Edwards)

that sounds about right by my calculation too...

If i get major illness just dig a hole and i]ll drop into it.

I dont want to bankrupt my children taking care of me.

I already told them not only would I want them to pull the plug, but slam a couple of dozen doses of morphine into the IV drip so I go out having some fun
