Our family doctor of over 40 years informed us he will be retiring because of health care bill (Obama, abortion)

Are you pulling our legs?

How nice for you to decide that the man has outlived his value as a doctor due to his age.

I'm so sorry to hear that those evil Communist Democrats did this to your family's friend. I hope he sues the federal government for this.

He had a budding career, but no more. Cut down in the prime of his life. So sad.

Now he can write off all the bad debt for the uncompensated care that he has provided and collect social security. Oh, wait, I'm sure he won't do that. Big government being what it is and all.

From I've seen, every thread he starts is full of ****. He's pretty witty sometimes though, I will give him that.

He's the fun loving type troll.

How is a bald faced lie considered sarcasm? Did you lie Joey?

I know plenty of doctors who retired early because they were sick and tired of insurance companies telling them what, or what not, they could do. This was especially true when the trend became "HMOs".

Uh, did I say that? Do not twist my words, take what you see. 79 is about time to retire. I didn't say why. Anyway, it was sarcasm.

I don't know if the doctor is lying, maybe he is using this as an excuse, only he knows. Isn't it age discrimination to suggest that an 80 year old can't work anymore. The guy doesn't look a day over 75, reminds me of Jack Lalanne.
