One Doctors view on OBAMACARE

Doctor to Obama Supporters: Find Health Care 'Elsewhere'
A Florida doctor who opposes the new health care law posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Obama to get care "elsewhere," the Orlando Sentinel reported.

I dont doubt a lot of them will hang out such notices, after the Feds cut Medicare and pay them half what they get now, and the States cannot afford to pick up the difference.

First step to total government run single payer system. You have to restrict the current system and limit availability before you can rescue it with a socialist single payer plan. Then they implament a limit on malpratice lawsuits because the doctors are paid by the government, which in turn only raises taxes, to support an ever increasing government payroll. This continues until the number of freeloaders are larger than those that actually contribute to the tax base, then in order to support even more who do not pay taxes they have to raise taxes on those that do. This is what happened to the USSR. It doesn't happen overnight but this puts us on the same path. I for one do not want to see this country broken up into pieces. This is a possibility that we may leave for our children and grand children. I will get off my soap box, but I love and haved served my country and I have never been more afraid of where it is going.

Crash-what you say makes clear and perfect sense. Do you think it is possible at this point to turn things back on this health care junk?

And knowing the federal government, any repayment disputes would require a 103 page claims form filed in triplicate, certified, and in black ink!!!
