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.
Wouldn't blame them if they did quit. Using the current mess that is Medicaid/Medicare system as an example, the system doesn't pay enough for the doctors to pay their own bills, the increased paper work, increased regulations, difficulty in complying with governement edicts that change on a whim,
Yeah I can understand them not wanting to play obamma's little game.

So what will they do, sell real estate? A person goes to college for 8 years and spends 3 years as an intern and is just going to walk away because why?
If so, then 80% thought about quitting before Obamacare.. geez
I know some doctors socially and they hated their careers before Obama ever even took office. They don't hate their careers more now; about half of them actually supported the healthcare bill and still do, while the ones who don't are primarily concerned about a potential reduction in their already substantial compensation.

Probably true but then they thought about how they would pay for the upkeep of their 4000+ sq ft house and 2nd home on the beach, the college education and BMW's for their kids, maintain the lifestyle for their wife and 82.9999999999999999% reconsidered.
My post is as close to true as the OP's...............give me a break!!

No that's not what the article says at all. Your either spreading dis-information (that you didn't even take the time to analyze yourself) or either your a liar. Pick one.
I'm independent by the way. And feel that both parties are screwing us. But lying to ourselves isn't going to get us anywhere.
I work with several Drs and it is true, many initially believed the nonsense they had been told. But most have come to know what is actually in the Law and no longer have the baseless fear they had prior. To be sure, there are a few, who still hate Obama, but I think for more secret reasons.
The OP's a liar. The article does not say that at all.
Can we have a de-reputation button as well so that we stop getting so much mis-information on these boards?
