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

Because we have a new generation, largely new immigrants, who know deep down that they do not have the capability to achieve that beautiful home by hard work.

So they have to scramble the system around if they are to get more for themselves.

Seems that my costs are going up, not down, under the "Affordable Care Act". So that premium isn't as expensive as all the other shit that I have to drag around and pay for thru Obamacare, so that I can get care too.

truth is too unreal for this guy

Pick whatever company you consider reputable. Betcha the same thing is happening there.

facepalm myself, screwed up meh posts

to all the my uncle's sister's mothers are a Dr. fear mongerers... how does any of this effect the money they get from big pharma to prescribe and force un-needed drugs on people? you know the ones for all the made up diseases and psychological issues that rx manufacturers have them pretend exist.

It's called eugenics.My sister has both her legs cut off today because of blood clots.UGHHHHHH.

I keep hearing that doctors do this, but in my lifetime I've had a variety of different sorts of doctors and I cannot remember a single one, ever, not one, who seemed like a drug pusher to me.

Nurses yes. Nurses tell you wrong things. They tell you that vaccinations are required. Some do.

But doctors never talked that way to me.

I am sorry about that. I hope things go well for her in the future.

Oh nooooooooooooo!

Doctors might have to trade in their Lexuses for a plain ol' Toyota...

NOOOOOOOO!

don't sign your name for organ donation and prey you don't get lethal injury that could get you killed if not treated quickly enough. Also Add x 10 to your prayer strenght if your of any - blood type!

I assume Europe has something like what Obamacare is going to look like.
Any EU folks willing to chime in?

i have chronic lyme and I'm basically fucked now thanks to obamacare.

many of the treatments that help me live normally will now be illegal, too hard to find, or not even considered by the FDA.

If you become injured and end up in a hospital and you have no insurance, you are basically shit out of luck as they say here in the US.

Thank you for posting this OP.

I feel for her...I'm glad to know she is one of the few who gets it.

But now with obamacare we can all be shit out of luck

Socialized med has been in the works since Vietnam war in the USA. Start bringing in Pakis, Indians, Arab doctors so that when Socialized Med kicks in and thousands of US doctors quit from disgust or cannot afford to practice, the Foreign docs will take their place and work for peanuts since they dont have student loans. This is what was explained to me when discussing this issue with a member of an Asian state department. How come the US residency directors and hospitals are clambering to hire foreign doctors ? In my state ( Shitagan) 9 out of 10 doctors are Indian or Arab.

IS SHE HOT ?? PICS ?

In the US they're required by law to treat you if you have a life threatening emergency, private or public hospital. They will charge you through the roof however, so unless you're very low income (programs with discount or free treatment), those kinds of trips can be financially crippling if you don't have insurance.

Regardless of what they'd like you to believe, doctors make great money. This is an example pay scale:

With these changes, Doctor pay will most likely take a hit, and their accountability will increase, which is why they're complaining. I'd feel more sympathy for them if they weren't

A) one of the best paying professions in the world
B) employed by for-profit companies that drive premiums up to increase profits

Healthcare has enjoyed a free-for-all on the American public for half a century, it's high time we got control of it.

I have a doctor who is a doctor who isn't my sister. He anticipates no change in the current (albiet shitty) healthcare system. However, I went to the ER with a kidney stone roughly six months ago and in the pre-screening/triage process I was asked if I had ever had any thoughts of harming myself or others. No of course was my answer and the Dr. said they had to ask this all the time now as protocol. 5 minutes later I was administered a monster shot of dilaudid, sat in the ER for about 4 hours not givin a fuck, got another monster D shortly thereafeter and then was admitted. At the tim I thought maybe they were just screening me for mental instability or drug abuse before they gave me the D. But in retrospect I'm not so sure.

So in another somewhat related incident sown the road I was at a rheumatologist because I have been having hip pain that is getting pretty nasty. He asks me the routine blah blah about the nature of the pain etc. Then he asks if I feel depressed. I say hey suffering through pain 24/7 can have a way of sucking the joy out of your life, but I'm dealing OK. So suddendly he's typing his fingers bloody on his laptop and I say what the fuck is that about. Well we have to keep a record of people who suffer from depression he say. Doing my best to keep my composure I say who the fuck ever said anything about any sort of clinical depression? I said being in pain sucks, thats all. Well he said as he closed his laptop we are required to document all patients who suffer from depression. I grabbed my jacket and split and will never go back but I suppose that is now on my 'permanent record' But hell they can go fuck themselves.

For the sake of full disclosure I really do feel that something needs to be done about the current state of healthcare in the US. As it is the people who pay for insurance also pay for all the people who don't have insurance. Obviously that can't go on forever because in the end nobody will be able to afford insurance.

But yea, I feel I have some pretty good first hand knowledge that there is some hocusfuckingpocus going on with the new Gov HC that wasn't going on prior.

What do you think that Forward slogan they were running meant? It is the direction you will bend as they stick it to you.

I'm sorry, but the cost for healthcare in this country is INSANELY to expensive. There is absolutely no justification for the extreme costs for healthcare and pharmaceudicals.

Every single one of you know this as well...!!!!

All of you...!!!!

So we should hand over control to Big Pharma (which controls a lot of our govt)

makes sense.

fucking idiot

THAT is still complete and total

TROLLISH , medical schools DO NOT graduate specialists, THAT part of a career is done on the job.
