If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor under Obamacare if you both belong to the same race.
Obamacares spectacular flop of a rollout distracts from its crude calculus that encourages the allocation of healthcare resources along racial lines and a doctor-patient system splintered into ethnicities.
While the 2010 Patient Protecion and Affordable Care Acts language on diversity sounds innocuous, a review of the frankly separatist thinking of the laws ardent supporters indicates Obamacare is aiming for a health care system that puts political correctness above the struggle against illness and death.

The author seems to equate culture with race. I have a very good Russian primary care physician, and 90% of the patients there are Russian. More Russian is spoken in the office than English. Is that racist?
Just sayin’.
To quote a school teacher in front of her classroom at some point in our future:
“They used to call them ‘doctors’.”
We’re dying breed.
Before I take down my shingle, however, I see no down side in being forced to treat only people pretty much like me.
Just so good I had to repost. Thanks for a badly needed chuckle in the midst of the gloom. :-)
I just found out from my hairdresser, who has a lot of moms in and out of her chair, that what's going on at the high school and even the middle school level is that boys are convincing girls to have anal sex with them so they'll "still be virgins." This is going on at parties, in the school bathrooms, etc.
It makes my very sad that my daughter's peer group has been raised on pornography and think that a woman is just a series of holes to use any way they want. Very sad.
A large number of AMA members voted for Obama.
If this is true, it’s illegal and unconstitutional. Not that that would stop the 0bama team.
California always ‘leads’, doesn’t it.
Obama’s version of Helter Skelter and Charlie Manson is sitting in his cell laughing.
Most doctors no longer are in the AMA. About 20% are IIRC.
Whites will be on the bottom of the priority list.
I think that’s about right. It says something about those who still are.
Spread the death around.
If only the American Medical Association would only approve doctors who spoke English. Last time I was in the emergency room in the middle of the night with my kiddo, the only doctor (ME?) there couldn’t speak English. Talk about a scary situation. He sent us home and I never did figure out what was wrong. Thankfully, the next day, kiddo got better on his own.
On El Al. Making aliyah.
“are they next going to separate us by political party, by education level, and then by religion?”
Of course!
They’ll have Vet & Non-Vet ones too.
Unfortunately there are plenty that did. Drs tend to be either bleeding heart liberals out to save the world, or very conservative. There aren’t many moderates.
Some of them, but not all. I still belong, although I stopped donating to their PAC long ago. They still provide apolitical services that are useful for some. And some us are conservative in more than just the political sense; we are slow to change even when change is in our best interest.
Yeah, there are: the poor to mediocre ones who are so bad that they can’t command close to an average salary otherwise.
