Just like liberal’s access to all the chi-chi nightclubs.

It will be by invitation only - with a very menacing bouncer - with a shroud and scythe for those not deemed fit to join.

“If you like your doctor AND your doctor likes you, you can keep your doctor”... The new ‘Rat mantra.

For example, the average wait to see a new family doctor in this country is just under three weeks. But in Boston, with ObamaCare-type reform, the wait is about two months.
I refuse to believe both stats are real - three weeks to see a doctor? Ridiculous. But two months? Absurd.
Sorry, but as much as I detest and abhor Øbama(no)Care, this entire article reeks of Chicken Little.

Note about the $1500-2500 concierge fee to keep a doctor.

That is $1500-2500 each and every year, not a one time fee.

I had paid once, then found out it was recurring, and had to quit...Now I have a Nurse Practitioner who does a better job anyway.

When demand exceeds supply, doctors have a great deal of flexibility about who they see and when they see them.

I'm surprised representatives of the Democratic [sic] party haven't simply repealed the laws of supply and demand.

By the way, Sunday is Double Double Dessert Dessert Day Day. If you're late, there won't be any left.

Would someone please tell me just What difference does Obamacare makes?
I could not afford to go to a doctor in 2008. I can not afford to see a doctor in 2013. And I will not be able to afford to see a doctor in 2014. Medical care in this country was priced way beyond my means by the government many years ago.
So just what difference does it make.

“When demand exceeds supply in a normal market, the price rises until it reaches a market-clearing level”

There is also the option of increasing supply of medical services - perhaps to lesser qualified individuals providing the routine “lookup table” sort of care.

The bottom line is that Obama has succeeded in creating the environment where a “medical black market” can flourish. If people want medical care, increasingly, that’s how they’ll have to get it.

The Democrats are bitching now because they did not extend Employment Insurance past 26 weeks. They think that is a period of time that is “too short.”

Wait until 26 weeks is the time it takes to get an appointment with the doctor on their exchange plan, they will think that is “too long.”

Then when they have to pay the $12,000 deductible up front before their exchange plan pays anything, they will complain that that is not fair.

Just tell them they got what they voted for !!!!

Then, ironically, you’ll have health care insurance, but no health care.

There is no such thing as free contraception. We all know that this is worked into the premium price, but moreover, all physicians must conduct a history and physical before prescribing a drug, even birth control pills, to a new patient. Even existing patients need an evaluation before receiving a new prescription. Doctors foolish enough to write prescriptions for “patients” that they have never seen usually receive a reprimand from the state medical board.
The doctors fees will need to be paid up front with these enormous deductibles. Just wait until January when these suckers thing they will be getting something for nothing.

Members of Congress and the political elites will be going to the Mayo Clinic while us peons will be standing in line at swamped hospital emergency rooms and government clinics.

“In the meantime, the most vulnerable populations may have less access to care than they had before ObamaCare became law.”

The Unseen Hand of the Market” can become a mailed fist when the Taker Class perverts the market sufficiently with socialist laws, rules, regulations.

As physicians increasingly have to allocate their time, patients in plans that pay below-market prices will likely wait longest. Those patients will be the elderly and the disabled on Medicare, low-income families on Medicaid, and (if the Massachusetts model is followed) people with subsidized insurance acquired in ObamaCare's newly created health insurance exchanges.

The new 'health care' will be a bonanza for 'doctors' who graduated at the bottom of their classes in Caribbean 'medical schools. I knew a doctor (many years ago) - (total quack) who got his medical degree in Italy. When I asked him if he spoke Italian he said 'no' but that his parents paid a small fortune for his medical degree... It's similar in some of the Caribbean island 'medical schools'. So yeah, Obamacare's got incentives from hell. The horrors will keep coming until everyone's been touched.

ON the lighter brighter side, all those folks who graduate based on affirmative action or 'special help' will now be able to have large practices and be PAID the exact same as a doctor how knows what he's doing.

This is NOT a dog whistle - I'm talking about blacks and women who get advantages getting into medical school - and staying there... when they're not qualified.

Liberals seem to have no connection with reality.

They really seem to think that:

HEALTH INSURANCE = HEALTH CARE

Of course, that's lunacy. Health insurance is simply a payment/risk-sharing system for delivering health care services. It isn't health care itself.

Health care is hospitals, doctors, nurses, armies of their support staff, plus ambulances, MRI machines, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment manufactures, and on and on.

You can, for example, issue rationing cards to the poor to buy rice, but if there isn't any rice, the rationing cards are worthless. Rationing cards don't equal rice. Health insurance doesn't equal health care.

I've tried to pin down liberals over the past few years with the question: "how many doctors and nurses does Obamacare train? How many hospitals does it build, equip and staff?"

Blank stares. Just blank stares. Like deer caught in the headlights.

So, I'd say, "basically what Obamacare does is promises 40 million more people access to the current system of trained medical staff and physical infrastructure, but does nothing to increase the number of doctors, hospitals, drug and equipment makers, and so on?"

More blank stares.

Then I'd say "so you're increasing demand but not increasing supply. Yet Obama is promising lower prices and no rationing, including death panels. But we know from Econ 101 that if demand increases and supply stays the same, then prices have to go up. So, how does that work exactly?"

Liberals usually respond with some emotional outburst, like "you conservatives don't give a damn about what happens to the 40 million uninsured" or something. They never address the question. They seem incapable of understanding a simple fact that health insurance for all does not mean access to healthcare for all, in any meaningful sense.

I used to think it was because they were all morons, but that's only true for the bottom 80% of Rats. The top 20% know exactly what they're doing and why. It's all about getting power and keeping power. That's it. They don't care about whether anybody actually has access to adequate health care. They just want to run people's lives.

Democrats are evil.

What If No Doctor Will See You?

Just say that you're gay and the doctor refuses to see you. Then get a judge to force the doctor to see you.

If it works against florists, photographers, and bakers, why not doctors, too?
