The rank and file physicians have been protesting all along. The corporations that own most hospitals and practices take a dim view of any outspoken physician who protests the intrusion of government into medicine. Such a physician would be punished by being labeled 'disruptive', or 'negative'. He would lose his job.
Trust me that an iron curtain has descended on most hospitals and practices, and it is because the suits have taken over medicine.
In addition to the doctors, the nurses have been protesting all along. But with the American press being a part of the US Government nowadays, you would never know it. Look around on the net and you will see lots of blogs. But on CNN? Of course you will see no unhappy doctors or nurses.
I am sure it has been made uncomfortable for those who protest — but now those who didn’t protest (because they might lose their jobs) will really find out what being uncomfortable means (they are going to lose them anyway)! It is the typical frog in the pot, raise the heat slowly problem. At no point was there a critical mass of doctors and nurses protesting “the suits” — because if they had, things would be different today. Opportunity missed!
