[quote:Anonymous Coward 26892474:MV8yMDQzNTUxXzM0MzQxMTg3Xzc5QkZBRjIx] [quote:itsamadmadworld:MV8yMDQzNTUxXzM0MzQwMjc5X0EzNjU0N0Q1] Not sure why ANYONE would have sympathy for physicians who have been [u]willing[/u] participants in not one, but TWO systems that are unconscionably corrupt, self-serving, and deceitful - aka: the American medical industry and big pharma. Most doctors hate people who ask questions, they actively work to deny the fact that there are often safe alternatives, they have no compunction about prescribing drugs they KNOW are dangerous just so they can get their country club kickbacks, they push treatments on people knowing full well they will not be helped, and it is in THEIR best interest for everyone to remain borderline sick/healthy. Whining and crying doctors? [i]Boo-frigging-hoo[/i]. [/quote] I know doctors (several personally) who are RESTRICTED by the AMA and big pharma and big insurance. When I say restricted I mean that they literally cannot tell you the truth, or give you a requested treatment, or say certain things because of a HUGE threat of actually LOOSING their license to practice. IOW, doctors are being held hostage by the AMA, ADA, big pharma, and insurance companies. THIS IS WHAT TERRIFIES ME [/quote]
Original Message
My sister is a doctor (OB), she called me today and said she had been crying since last night. She is beside herself. Now that the final nail has been driven into the US medical industry it's hit her hard.
Main issue for doctors is that they are being mandated too and regulated like never before. Most of Obamacare focuses on regulations, not the patient. That's what most people don't get. It's all about reporting back to the government. They will be determining your treatments and watching every facet of your "care".
This is scary. Take some time and dissect the bill. It's a whopper, makes our tax code look like 1st grade reading.
