46% US Docs To Quit If Obamacare Passes

A new study by The New England Journal of Medicine shows that nearly one out of every two doctors in the United States say they will either quit or be forced out of business if healthcare reform proposed by Barack Obama passes into law.

While nearly a third told the Journal that they are in favor of a public option for healthcare in America, more than two-thirds say the move should be done in a more gradual manner instead of sweeping legislation.

71% say their income will decline, and 72% feel the supply of doctors will decline as a result of Obamacare legislation.

A shocking 46.3% say the healthcare bill will either force them out of business or make them want to leave medicene.

    The Government will tell them how much they will be paid. Those who spent years of extra study to specialize will be paid the same as a beginning General Practice Doctor. Would you want to have brain surgery or your child’s cleft palate done by some guy who was being paid $65.00 and was angry about it? My son lives in North Idaho not far south of Canada. The entire parking lot of the local hospital is full of Canadian license plates. Local people have trouble getting in. This happens all across the northern US. From the Atlantic to the Pacific! Now our medical care sounds like it will be even worse than Canada’s.

    my best friend is one of those educated for ever Docs. He will be out of his office before this bull bill ever kicks in. He isn’t even interested is selling his practice. No doc is going to be willing to put up any money for a parctice that is a net loss on paper he is going ro sell the buildings put the records in storage and be gone.
    So how is the obambat helping his patients???

    Obviously you know what kind of doctors we are going to be left with. I have a family member who was going to go into medschool next year and we discussed the socialization of the healthcare. he has decided to seek another profession. Probably tort law.. Ha!
    This is the end of freedom. May God bless all you formerly free fellow Americans, we are going to need it.

    G.W. Bush was not perfect in office. Not by a long shot. But at least he was like this idiot.
