Don’t be so sure that Zero won’t declare a national emergency.
Force retired doctors to return to work. And send doctors
anywhere in the country Obama wants them to work.

He can't quite do that. He can just tax them if they don't follow his orders and return to work where he commands them to go.

And when the rest of the doctors stampede out of the country, then what?

I remember the days before Tenncare in our state and the ones that came after. The then Dem governor New McWherter was screaming Medicaid was failing and broke. All it needed was a few cuts mainly to ones who should have never been on it to start with namely welfare Mom's having babies for checks.

One national private insurer began taking out full page adds in the Knoxville paper to the affect call our congressman and support Tenncare. But it didn't stop there. That same private insurer was the majority holder of new Tenncare patients. The company basically told the doctors if you don't sign on to Tenncare as a provided we will not give you our private insured business.

After Tenncare was pushed through with the help of the VP Al and first co-POTUS Hillary even more things showed up. The ones who were too have supposed to been managing Medicaid in Tennessee under Ned Ray suddenly were HMO CEO's.

Under Tenncare patients who were on Medicaid because as workers they had become disabled and could no longer worked were threatened with being dis-enrolled from Tenncare which was what the HMO wanted. But it got worse. Ones who were disabled after two years were also Medicare qualified. So Tenncare then decided to drop the traditional Medicaid payment to the doctors for service. They did this and by law the doctors could not bill the patients for the difference. The disabled had a very hard time obtaining doctors.

Under medicaid the program was overseen by the Tennessee Inspector Generals Office. If you became disabled and met the fiscal qualifications you were on Medicaid. That rule as well was cut from Tenncare. There was no accountability, no way a disabled person could reasonably resolve any issues, and much like OBAMACARE the Tennessee general Assembly was clueless as too how it ran. The end result under Governor Don Sundquist nearly bankrupted the state. Corruption in Tenncare was rampant and it wasn't the doctors but rather the HMO's running it.

The so called Editorial Board at www.knoxnews.com gives the impression that Obamacare is the best thing to ever happen in this nation. They like most Liberals refuse to do articles on the down side of Obamacare. The only doctor in Knoxville I've heard cheering is one who runs a government funded clinic.

Ha! Doctors about the most intractable group you will ever come across.

More like Obama will push most out of business and replace them with compliant foreign medical grads.
