Just as cars can’t go anywhere without drivers and employees can’t work without bosses, health care doesn’t happen when there are no doctors around. And when an estimated 70 percent of the doctors in the nation’s deepest-blue state are rebelling against Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act is forcing a critical decision: America will have to junk Obamacare and go back to square one on health insurance reform, or trash the last vestige of private health care in this country by forcing doctors to do the government’s bidding.
The rebellion among California physicians was detailed earlier this week by Washington Examiner senior investigative reporter Richard Pollock. “Independent insurance brokers who work with both insurance companies and doctor networks estimate that about 70 percent of California's 104,000 licensed doctors are boycotting the exchange,” Pollock wrote. The president and speaker of the legislative body of the California Medical Association -- the Golden State chapter of the Obamacare-endorsing American Medical Association -- both confirmed to Pollock that the rebellion is widespread and intensely felt.
California's doctor rebellion isn't unique. Pollock previously reported comparable situations at 15 other locations around the country. Not only are thousands of doctors saying no to Obamacare, so are major health insurance providers, including United Healthcare, Aetna and Cigna, as well as some of the nation's most famous hospitals....

I thank God everyday that when I turned 52 I was diagnosed with AVN, had hip reconstruction then had a bad knee done too. They would have let me die with ACA Obamacare! Thank you for your service to all of us. There are many patients who are grateful!
There’s going to be an open revolt in this country.
Don’t think so. There are too many people comfortable in their own world, willing to go along to get along.
There has been an intense assault on liberties for the last 5 years that should have awakened the masses but unfortunately crickets are all we hear.
“AMA announces support of Affordable Care Act insurance exchange policies”

It’s a shame the AMA is a branch of the Dem party and not actually looking our for doctors or for our health.
I’ve been wondering when someone would bring this up. It’s always appeared to be the logical end for dissenting doctors. They will draft them, just like the military.
enterprising Americans are much smarter than obama’s regime and they will figure out a way not to be forced into servitude
I predict that within 10 years most of the “doctors” treating obamacare patients will be from the 3rd world...and our best doctors may be working in elite private clinics and hospitals incorporated abroad, perhaps even in China
Or how about off-shore hospital-cruise-ships, sort of like the casinos use?
It isn't too late. Doctors could still make a huge difference in killing this monster. But they have to be heard.
The American Holocaust designed by RATs.
This ACA will bring more mystery on the Amerians than war. People are already being programmed to think, like a a veterinarian or a NAZI to come to believe that "they will be doing a family member a favor" by consenting to destroy them. Obama himself, has said, "Rather than allowing Grandma to go through an operation, just give her a pill and send her home to die." It is happening now, and the American people are taking a dose of that moral relativism, day, by day, by day.
One country in Europe (Luxembourg?) actually drafted doctors into the army when they rebelled. That’s another option that might happen here.
Unfortunately, it is only good for about another five years. Wonder if owe-bamacare will buy me a new one?
