My sister called me today, she's a doctor.

:dramaqueenz:

.
... and this is driven by the LEGAL SYSTEM ...
.
... don't get enough tests and it's suing time! ...
.
... BAD DOCS are just given another state to practice in ...
.

Expect that practicing medicine outside of Government approval will become a criminal offense.

Yeah not paying thousands of dollars for tests so you can get a $5.00 antibiotic prescription for a minor infection is going to be a bitch!

^I thot this, too lol

Much longer wait times to begin with.


Doctors in my office ...well We used to be able to see patients every 20 minutes.

Now it takes over 40 because of the government mandated EMR (Electronic Medical Record)

This software is linked back so they know exactly what you are doing, what you are planning and the complete history of the patient.


Since we can only see 1/2 the patients we used to see, we have to charge more to cover the costs.


First off the EMR was over 500,000 dollars. Then the hardware was over 120,000.

Then the licenses and everything....well lets put it this way, it costs a lot.


So back to the patient. Your chances of seeing a doctor in time are less.

Meaning if you have a tumor and you cannot be seen because you could not be scheduled to see a specialist in time to detect the tumor, you are in deep shit.


We can see 1/2 the patients and pretty much stopped taking medicare. It costs us money to see medicare patients. We cannot pay for the EMR, Lights, front staff, medical malpractice insurance, nurses, feed or familes and see patients for free.

I've witnessed many doctors retiring early. It's not worth it. There will be less doctors willing to deal with the bullshit and low pay.

When you have to go to school for 10 years you wrack up a lot of student debt. Doctors need to make money at a certain level to survive.

Since they are branded as rich and evil by this administration nobody is going to give a shit until they cannot get help. Only then it will be too late. You will be given a timeline to die and sent home because your tumor was discovered too late.


Free Healthcare is not free. Nothing is free.


There are unintended consequences to everything.

I wish this country good luck.

is the .15 cents you get paid to post this worth it?

you people truly are sick in the head

My doctor has been refusing any new medicare patients for over a year now. The sign on her door reads "Elections have consequences"

She's awesome....

Too fucking bad for your BIL. Maybe if the Kochs had been more fiscally responsible and not blown so much money on the disastrous Romney campaign...Maybe he should look for work with a reputable company.

wondering if the doctors and nurses will have to be mirco chipped also.

what if they refuse to take the "mark"?

will they be stripped of their doctorates?

will their chosen profession be ripped from them?

One thing I know for sure ... as a citizen or patient,

the word "No"
will be the only RIGHT
that will remain in this so-called Free country.

The coming Obamacare rationing

One of the major fears Americans have with regards to the impending regulations of the Affordable Care Act is the formation of death panels. Even though no such panels exist so far, the fact remains there will be significant rationing of health care resources at all levels.

One method is through the implementation of the “complete lives system.” This model was described in an article in The Lancet, co-authored by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel and former special adviser for health policy to the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Like Goldilocks in her visit to the bears, an American seeking treatment in the future will have to fall into the “just right” category in order to receive care.

The “complete lives system” is based on age and how productive the person will be to benefit the state. The chance of a patient receiving treatment or a procedure increases if that patient is between the ages of 15 and 50. The only patients receiving treatment will be the ones fitting into the proper age group, the ones who are “just right.”

wow.

i've never seen such an onslaught of ridiculous posts responding to a simple valid post such as the original post.

the original post was simply valid. no drama, no nothing.

yet how many insidious , irrational replies have there been?

is it just me,..or does it not seem that there is a very concerted effort to drown out anything that goes against the current administrations policies ?

A local economist told me, back where I come from (Europe) there is free health care. Those governments can do it, why can't the U.S.?

I responded, yes, those countries are Greece, Spain, Italy and France.

He got mad and walked away.

Sorry about the disrespectful comments on your thread OP. Hateful children against everything modestly decent.

No. You can go into the ER and they take care of you, if you need surgery you will get it. You are then billed, they will set up payment plans for you.

The Democratic voters have no idea what they have ushered in.


No clue.


I'm saddened beyond belief.

I've been in the medical industry for 15 years. I cannot tell you how many jobs I've seen disappear in the last two years.


It's mind numbing to see the real costs in humans faces.


There are some good things. When a Doctor is on call in the ICU and a patient comes in with no insurance? Well the doctor actually gets paid now.

Wait whut? You mean doctors treated people with no insurance? Did Obama tell another lie?


Yes. You read that correctly.


Well now the doctor gets paid. But where does that money come from?


I'll tell you where. In 2014 4% of your paycheck will be siphoned off for this mess and increased to 6%.


Just like Social Security Tax. You will pay for insurance on one end, and then pay a tax on the other end.


Or pay a penalty and the tax.....

Either way, you will pay. Democrats too.

You need to go the kids table and eat your jello,smallmind!

Yeah, Nazi traitors don't garner a lot of respect in decent company.

The amount of money spent on their education, the number of years it takes to become a doc and their skill set earns them the money they make. Specialists and surgeons deserve even more.

Don't be angry because flipping burgers hasn't paid off for you.

Agreed the mindless are out and about.

I am all for making the Democrats pay.
They owe America their lives.

^^^this.

Western medicine was great, full of pioneers, developers of all kinds of magic bullets to fight disease etc.

Now they are moving out of the area ..... and welcome the Golden Age of medicine, now that those "greedy pigs" (insert the insult of your preference) have moved out.... and our Golden Age medical heros move in from Papua New Guinea, Somalia, Calcutta, Karachi, Kenya and Bangladesh.

Not feeling so good after the doctors visit? Too bad.

You don't know SHIT about ER's and health care.

ohhh cappped it... what happens if the total paid in does not equal what's paid out? who pays for it then? the premiums don't increase? do taxes? Also now my premium is the same as the fat ass diabetics, queers with aids and all the dumbasses who'll go to the hospital every time they get a runny nose, that seems fair and logical.

You forgot the big winner... - Big Pharma -

Nice talking points. Did the insurance lobby pay you to post it?

I've had to answer that for over a year, for my daughter's care. Not about her...but me.

They also ask about anti-depressants as well as tobacco, alcohol and drug (script and non) use.

thing is, it is about the tenth time in the last month this troll , baiting thread has been pinned.

sisters have now replaced uncles.

Its been happening but will go on with greater frequency. Having been in the medical field I can say from experience there are very few foreign trained doctors I would go to for care. Of course there are poorly trained American physicians but overall the foreign ones I have seen are not as knowledgeable and sometimes are lazy and don't want to see their patients in the hospital.

We just had a doctor from China in our town who was reprimanded by the medical board for not returning the calls of a nurse regarding a patient going bad. Apparently not his first time.
