#1 ...60 percent said they would not accept new patients covered by a government insurance ...

That's what they think. How long before the Obamathugs start hunting them down? Will they hold out? Or will they just pass a law that makes that practice illegal? Since when do doctors have the right to choose whom to treat?

Don't even think about leaving the profession or those thugs will come to see you.

#3 Perhaps most importantly, 60 percent said they would not accept new patients covered by a government insurance plan Very few physicians can afford to do that now, how can it be possible if all patients are mandated to have coverage by the government?

#4 No business can run at a loss for very long. The Doctor will just close his doors and start making furniture or toys. More money, less stress.

#5 There are a lot of doctors out there who are fed up with medicine and dealing with all the BS, even before Obamacare. My sister-in-law is a pediatrician. She used to talk about opening a hat shop as soon as her medical school loans were paid off.
The ironic thing is that her husband worked on Obama's campaign.
