Well, all politics is local, so.. is doctors practicing medicine.
What are our doctors suggesting we do?
Steve King should seriously consider running for President. Out of all the so-called Presidential hopefuls I am not that enthusiastic about many of them, but I would be about King.
King/Bachmann would be a dynamic ticket in many ways. A woman for VP 2 times in a row? Why not.
Doctors HATE Obamacare. Just about all of them — it will restrict their ability to make decisions for the patient, won’t let them order necessary tests, it penalizes them for treating chronically ill patients, it will be a real strain on their conscience and their pocketbook. They will be slaves, work harders, for less money and not being able to provide the care they would like to, to patients. There were polls that many doctors, all those who are financially able to will retire, as in close to 50%. will retire. We will be left with significantly fewer, less experienced doctors, who will have the government dictate to them how they should treat or not treat patients.
The AMA supported it, but only about 17% (may be 20%), but in any case it’s a very low number of doctors belong to the AMA. In addition, just as AARP didn’t represent their membership when they supported Obamacare, neither did AMA.
