This doctor has gone full Galt and left the country for the next 2 years

And this is the very liberal New York. I don’t know that I’d want to go to a doctor that was a member of the Obamacare doctors. Looks like only 3rd rate doctors and scammers are signing up.

American doctors and this No

If enough doctors would refuse to participate in Obamacare that would be the end of it.

My docs are not joining. Ask your doctor for his non-insurance rate which should be a lot less since they don’t have to file for insurance.

Funniest ever! I was at my doctors yesterday and I asked him what he thought of Obamacare.......he casually opened a drawer and took out a tube of lubricant.

Cant Obama or Coumo (NYS) have a few of these doctors publicly executed to make examples of them to scare the rest into complying?

Mao or Stalin wouldn't put up with this.

Bammy and friends will have them in line soon enough when he starts taking away hospital credentialing of any who won’t accept his brand of Socialism.

I had dinner last night with an executive of a large property management company and when we talked about obamacare I pointed out I'm in that group of individuals losing the coverage I had because I'm self employed. Prior to discussing the solutions I found, she pointed out that when the employer mandate kicks in they are going to drop their health insurance plan and give their employees a flat fee to buy their own insurance. Of course they will reduce the flat fee by the cost of the penalty they will have to pay.

The solution I found was signing on with a Concierge Doctor and applying to a Christian Healthcare Co-op. The cost of the two services is equal to the premium I pay today as opposed to the premium I would have to pay next year which is double.

Looking for a Concierge Doctor was not as hard as I imagined, there seem to be a lot of them. The problem was most had already closed their practice to new members. If demand is that strong then I would expect more and more doctors to go this root.

The other thing people aren't looking at yet is most of the new enrollee's are signing up for medicaid. We already have fewer doctors willing to take medicaid because the reimbursement is so bad. I would expect more doctors to drop out of taking medicaid as they get overwhelmed and see no financial reward for the increased hours and aggravation they will have to live with.

The obamabots are going to learn that there is a big difference between having health insurance and receiving health care.

Another story has information that tells doctors that they must have cash on hand to run their practices for 9 months to a year, because processing & payment thru Obamacare will be long, arduous, and painful. My chiropractor already has between 90 day & 180 day delays in payment for her Medicare patients.

With over 140,000 “BILLING CODES”, some may never get paid. Prosecution for fraud against the doctor for perceived ‘errors in billing codes’ could put them completely out of business.
