For those who don't know it, there is already a serious shortage of GP's in rural areas and Obamacare is going to make that situation a crisis.
With cuts in Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals, as well as reduced payments in many states under Medicaid, treating the millions of new patients who come on board when Obamacare goes into effect will be next to impossible.
There are going to be many doctors and hospitals that refuse to treat new Medicare or Medicaid patients and those individuals are going to have to have great difficulty in finding anyone who will give them health care.
UNLESS OF COURSE, THE OBAMABOTS CREATE A NEW LAW *FORCING* DOCTORS (UNDER PENALTY OF HAVING THEIR LICENSE REVOKED) TO ACCEPT MEDICARE/MEDICAID PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF HOW GOVERNMENT PLANS TO REIMBURSE THEM...

It gets worse, just heard on local radio show that if the sequester happens they will cut 2% from Medicare, that 2% will be on payments to providers.
More doctors are going to quit.

They are working on proposals that would allow physician assistants to treat more patients and nurse practitioners to set up independent practices. Pharmacists and optometrists could act as primary care providers, diagnosing and managing some chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and high-blood pressure. Next - Obama declares 1,000,000 new Affirmative Actions to be M.D.s.
Crisis solved!
