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.
The doctors surveyed are affiliated with the tea party
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.
Today's doctors will slowly disappear as they retire early. It's the next generation that should worry. Only a fool would go into medicine with all this OCare crap hanging over the country. Doctors will be hard to find in 20 years or so.
I have had two cardiologists retire on me in the last year since all this crap started. Neither of them were that old, but have enough saved to just quit and retire. If in my city alone 2 have quit, (and we're only talking cardiologists) how many others will follow suit. I know a lot of young people that were going into nursing that have changed their major because they see the writting on the wall. It won't take any 20 years for things to get bad and for it to be difficult to get treatment. Aint Hope and Change wonderful...
Same thing happened when Medicare passed. The very politically conservative gp's specialized. My GP went back to school to be a psychiatrist. He said he figured the drs. would all go nuts trying to make a living.
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.
You could throw those options out in a survey to just about every working person, asking them how they feel about their job, and get similar results.......
Almost all Doctors like to get paid for their work. The rates are negotiable like any other business.
