The lines will be worse than the DMV when this is all said and done.
Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.
The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme Court.
Even if doctors do not quit their jobs over the ruling, America will face a shortage of at least 90,000 doctors by 2020. The new health care law increases demand for physicians by expanding insurance coverage. This change will exacerbate the current shortage as more Americans live past 65.
By 2025 the shortage will balloon to over 130,000, Len Marquez, the director of government relations at the American Association of Medical Colleges, told The Daily Caller.

Here is the question that 83% of doctors responded to be against Obamacare:
How do current changes in the medical system affect your desire to practice medicine?
I'm re-energized - 4.6%
Makes me think about quitting - 82.6%
Unsure/no opinion - 12.8%
When you give a question with limited answer choices you can skew it to whatever agenda you are trying to promote.
But if they left and opened up private practices, how different would this be for them. I saw some Doctors interviewed two weeks ago. They stated so many that they were thinking of starting private practices. Would that make a difference for them.

That headline is a lie. It has an omission which results in misleading the uninformed. That's like me giving dry cat food to 699 out of 36000 cats and 83 percent eat it and I make a headline that says
"83 percent of cats love dry cat foot."
Technically true; patently false.
PS/// they're still going to be doctors. What else will they do? Flip burgers? Get real.
