  • Yes and since they are in power the solution will be single payer system. This is part of the plan. If the solutions were the ones that really would work and those who cared where in power I would be celebrating. Not celebrating for the failure because this is a gateway to single payer system and the
    Republicans are not putting forward the solutions that would really make a difference.

  • I think I've mentioned here before that the same thing happened here in Mass. when Romneycare came in, a lot of doctors either retired early or moved out of state because of increased caseload and erratic & inadequate compensation from the government.

      • No, they won't have to do that. The left will just set up some way to seize about 80% of their wealth on the way out the door. They WILL try at the very least.

      • KQ, American doctors will be able to set up shop somewhere by making arrangements with the whoever is in charge of, let's say for example, Belize. Doctors go to the Belize gov't & work out a deal that allows for Americans who want treatment outside of Obamacare. The doctors will be bringing commerce to Belize, because those traveling there for treatment will be spending money. But there may be arrangements to take care locals with certain health issues or maybe gov't types.

        Keep in mind, I'm just using Belize as an example, but it could end up being anywhere where things can be negotiated to the benefit of all parties.

        • This is annoying because it will aggravate the negative feelings ppl already have on capitalism. That Doctors are "abandoning" people in favor for people that can afford to travel to Belize and be treated at who knows what prices. It will make for more of a under class and that is going to create more problems. I believe though if this does happen it will only increase the agenda of the progressives.

  • It seems the only things that have come to pass with Ocrappercare is everything people tried to warn everyone about. Liberals are such ideological idiots.

  • Anddddddd a shortage of hospitals. Turns out that all of us reality based people that said 1+1=2 and not POTATO are being proved right. IMAGINE THAT.

    But all of you dumb old leftists that voted for Obama and will get exactly ZERO treatments after 72...... I do not feel sorry for you and hope that you DO die quickly. Elections have consequences and that $70 billion/yr Obama is taking out of Medicare and giving to inner city dwellers well.....
