Doctors Don't Like Obamacare

See this article which summarizes a poll summary in the New England Journal of Medicine. NEJM is the #1 medical journal in the U.S. Their poll finds that nearly 3 physicians out of 10 would retire early or try to leave the profession if the bill called Obamacare passes.

That means you have nearly a 1 in 3 chance that your family physician would quit. In other words, if it doesn't happen to you, it will happen to one of your two next-door neighbors.

So...we'll have greatly increased demand for medical services and many fewer doctors to provide it. That will bring a whole new meaning to the term "waiting room."

If you are represented in the House by a Democrat, perhaps you should remind him or her that you expect a "no" vote if they hope to be reelected this fall.
