I kind of figured this would happen once “healthcare” became a “right” and you had big, lardass welfare queens with “Ph.Ds” shooting off their big mouths on the cable “news” networks and demanding that they be referred to as “doctor”. This country has become a joke.
The great socialist experiment is derailing
Again they want this. It gives them an excuse to kill off older whites for lack of doctors/resources, while bring ing in muslim docs who will also kill off whites.
My doctor retired.
I found a new one, though. I notice that physician’s assistants and nurses are doing a lot more. I spend more time talking to them than I do with the doctor when he finally comes in. And most of the time they are tapping away on their laptops.
Yes, my doctor “retired” in October of this year. He wrote a letter to all of us patients saying he could not take Obamacare and all the red tape it created any longer. In the letter, he had a few scathing parting words to say about the POS in the White House and how he can destroyed the U.S. health care system.
So much for the POS saying if I liked my doctor I could keep him.
This is also an excuse to turn into single payer. In additon to my prior reasons.
Make sure you are on very good terms with your vet. They can provide scripts....
Doctors in CA, even bleeding heart libs, are stopping taking Medi-Cal patients. In January the will only be reimbursed $20 bucks for each office visit. The doctors will be losing a lot of money for each one.
It’s exactly like taking a gourmet restaurant and requiring it to serve $40 entrees for $7. It isn’t sustainable. Fully 33% of Californians are on Medi-Cal. So it now means all treatment at the ER after waiting five hours.
.... No new information here .... this is a predicted event. There was a survey done during the drafting of the ACA .... and over 40% of the doctors surveyed said they would leave their practice if the ACA was enacted.
.... It appears .... they were not bluffing or joking about their intentions.
Just as we predicted.
Who could have seen this coming?
Oh, wait, I and many other FReepers said this would happen before 0bamaCare was even voted on.
I don’t have health insurance. I finally went to an urgent care and am Having to pay. So far I’m ahead, if I have to have something really eXpensive I could have had insurance if it wasn’t for obzmacare
My doc sold his practice to a chain and the place changed overnight, it went from how are you to fill out this paperwork and have a seat. Same paperwork each time and I had been going there for 8 years and they had it all on file.
Another doctor that I went to told she was leaving because of the bullsh*t and I asked if I could go with her. She said yes if I would stop chewing out the help over the paperwork.
She is a great doctor, never prescribes meds to me until we have tried several natural supplements and vitamins. A lot of the time they worked for me. She hates Zerocare too.
How the hell did THIS happen?
Doncha know, that doctors, once the profit motive is taken away, will then continue to practice medicine because, well, they just HAVE to serve these impulses.
Yeah, right.
I forgot to tell you that my brother’s doctor retired because of Zerocare. Aint this hopey-changy stuff just great?
See, it begins with the [U.S.] doctors.
Jeremiah 31:7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
They that are whole have no need of the physician...
My doctor closed shop and moved to Costa Rica with several of his peers.
None of my doctors are happy. Every single one has mentioned that they are considering leaving their practices. Every single one has cited the changes that have come with Obamacare. They have all said that the fun is gone from their jobs.
I’ve been commenting on this for years and I still don’t know why it hasn’t become a higher profile story. It’s happening to me and everybody I know. Every few months I get a note saying my doctor is leaving practice for retirement. I think it’s been four different doctors in the last three years. Now the hard part is finding a doctor that speaks English.
My aging mom has lost three doctors in three years. The obama voters have thrown the elderly off the cliff.
