Can't have it both ways.

Emergency medical treatment and active labor act, learn it, know it, despise Reagan after
I thought the GOP hated the poor and wanted to see those who couldnt afford treatment to die in the street?

I read the article. Aside from a little whining about small medical practices being shut down, there is precious little in the way of evidence for that claim.

Way to ignore the point.

GOP signed a bill into law mandating care for everyone, regardless of ability to pay, and didn't pay for it themselves.

Either support repeal of the EMTALA or pay for what Reagan signed.

your point was to avoid the thread and hide your head in the sand because "if you dont see it, its not happening"

It is happening, whether or not its due to Obamacare could be a totally different argument, but to sit here and pretend its not happening is completley ignorant.

Physicians, Heal Thy System? - MedPage Today Blogs - 29706
The groups are primary-care-centered, which allows coordination of care, and sharing of facilities and staff help hold costs down. In many of them, at least part of physician compensation is in salary. In addition, large group practices offer the flexibility desired by many young doctors today. These groups are proliferating rapidly, and the American Medical Group Association estimates that some 140,000 physicians now work in these types of practices.

Why won't the logic apply? An insurance is an insurance. No?

Ahh no. I know lots of people that dont have car insurance, they dont drive. And others who dont have home insurance, they rent. And others who dont have life insurance, and yes, they all are alive.

Stop hijacking the thread.

Again, another blog with no proof.

As I asked earlier, please post even a Fox news story showing proof of this.

You continue to ignore the point, Republicans broke the healthcare system, and now they don't want to fix it.

So are people without health insurance. "Being alive" is not an excuse for not carrying insurance. Is it? Just say that you don't want to compare one insurance to another, because it would be "politically inconvenient".

The blog sighted the source, if you dont like the American Medical Association as a source, then its up to you to dispute them. Thats YOUR job.. I'm not doing your homework for you.
