Obama lied.
Health Care died!
There’s going to be an open revolt in this country against Washington. It’s a city bent on destruction of freedom and free will. The foundation of a once great nation.

When this came up on O’Reilly tonight, I told the TV set that “O crap, they left a loophole, that’ll have to get fixed”. I doubt they even considered that doctors might not want to be a part of Obamacare, but now that they know it some changes will be needed. Probably via the IRS, as even rebellious doctors might respond to a highly punitive tax on non-Obamacare income.
On the other hand, there are probably going to be some very nice sunny islands that have a very high doctor-patient ratio.
‘forced’ to work is the exact definition of slavery
screw them
follow Reagan’s advice...
JUST SAY (HELL) NO!!
If you don’t like your patients...you WILL keep them. Period.
Not a moment too soon of you ask me.
I’m not “buying” anything their selling. I’m not going to pay any fines, either. This ****” stops now. F*** all of them.
first they will entice doctors to sign up by paying their malpractice insurance or medical school debts for them. Then they are trapped.
Or the all-powerful state will crush you like a bug.
And a clear 1st (freedom of assembly), 13th amendment (involuntary servitude) and 14th amendment (equal protection clause) violation.
You are absolutely correct!
I can see it like it’s already happened. They’d be fools not to.
The docs should have spoken up four years ago, but they let the AMA, which represents less than 20% of physicians, speak for them. I would support a nationwide work stoppage by doctors, so long as they openly and vigorously condemn 0bamacare and unequivocally blame Pelosi, Reid and Homobama.
Thay’ll have to force physicians to stay physicians....
“I quit when medicine was placed under State control some years ago,” said Dr. Hendricks. “Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I could not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everything—except the desires of the doctors. Men considered only the ‘welfare’ of the patients, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter, was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said, but ‘to serve.’ That a man’s willing to work under compulsion is too dangerous a brute to entrust with a job in the stockyards—never occurred to those who proposed to help the sick by making life impossible for the healthy. I have often wondered at the smugness at which people assert their right to enslave me, to control my work, to force my will, to violate my conscience, to stifle my mind—yet what is it they expect to depend on, when they lie on an operating table under my hands? Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents it—and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn’t.”
—Ayn Rand, *Atlas Shrugged*
I think they will find that American MDs are not so easy to force into servitude.
They comprise a group that is more intelligent than average, more stubborn (stubborn is sometimes a virtue), more independent and very hard to intimidate.
First they came for my doctor...and I decided to stand along side him..come what may.
yes and we shuld not forget who foisted this on us, and who were willing executors - hhs, irs, et al - of this crap.
I wonder how many doctors they are willing to murder to force the others into slavery.
More union members is the reason unions have been trying to get nationalized healthcare for many years.
