I wonder what these doctors’ malpractice insurance carriers think of their outside activities?

Truly, this is GOOD news: the strength of the “BACKFIRE” on these drooling union thugs is going to be enormous.

Private sector workers, parents paying for kids’ care, and retired taxpayers are not going to see these tactics as clever, wise, or cute. They’re going to be pissed.

And that will create more conservative voters, lawmakers, and executive branch officials in the coming elections.

Liberals trying to change the rules like this are cutting their own throats. Kind of fun to watch. :)

No, it's people that think like you that they are counting on. They need weak people without principles who will bow to threats and intimidation before sacrificing a little for a better outcome.

What do you want, a period of time with overcrowed classrooms, or unions to run the country? That's your choices.

Maybe they'll find some fake teachers to join the fake doctors and give our some fake report cards and fake diplomas.

Lie down with the dogs, and you'll get up with fleas.

Leftists are comparing this to Egypt...

O.K...

The public employee unions are gang raping this country like the Islamic mob gang raped CBS reporter Lara Logan in Egypt last week...

Notice how the media doesn’t talk about that... it would ruin their carefully crafted propaganda about how peaceful and lovable the Muslim Brotherhood is...

No doubt state paid doctors.

My guess is that all of them are on the payroll of the University of Wisconsin, and all have tenure. Take away their MD and they'll still be "teaching" our youth. Put them in jail, however, and they won't.

Doesn’t the governeor have the power to investigate this and to lobbyfor their medical license suspension in WI? The Dr.s might want to reconsider...”

My thoughts exactly.....Doctors need to be very careful of committing fraud in this mess, IMO. IF I still lived there, I would not ever go to a doctor who would participate in this kind of action, either.

[ridesthemiles]

Find me a medical doctor anywhere in this country where hundreds/thousands can get an immediate appointment in any circumstance.

This is blatant fraud.

I call BS.

I was born in Madison & raised in Middleton.

A normal class size when I was in high school was usually around 35-38. Sometimes more, depending on how good the teachers was & if the class was for college prep.

I went to a ONE ROOM grade school with 14 kids—8 grades—1 teacher who had only 2 years of college—no running water ( it was brought in every day in a 10 gallon milk can)—2 outdoor toilets out back & a single merry-go-round for playground equipment.

All 4 of us kids went to these schools & all 4 of us lived our lives as self-employed for most of those years.
