Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but Neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve. Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!" Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter". Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was sheer madness, while Radiologists felt they could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow. Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. Anesthesiologists thought the initiative was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the @**holes in Washington

That's right, politicians and corporations are in charge, not doctors.

I don't agree with the underlying political bias, but it was well done and deserves props for that reason alone.

Nice tongue in cheek humor. However, most of us, as physicians, will be refusing Obamacare. Whatever the government and their Obamacare enrollees plan to do is fine, however, they will have to do "it" through the ER and county hospitals, without our participation as private physicians.

Why in the world would ANYONE in private practice accept new medicaid patients? They are difficult, non compliant, abusive to staff, have multiple "no shows", and pay us less than overhead to see these patients. Send them to the ER and the County and let Obama deal with them.

I think Gynocologist are going to be into ACA up to their elbows. No kidding, I predict single, smart, sexually active, young women will flock to the system. Maybe even giving ACA the numbers its needs. I think social conservatives know that this will be a good thing for family planning clinics and they don't like that a bit.

This was meant to be a humorous thread. If you must comment on the ACA go to one of the other threads on that topic.
