Let's see, more people demanding care with fewer Dr.'s. Yeah, that's gonna work out real well.

We asked for it.

I'm in the same boat. Last year, my wife and I both lost our doctors who we'd had for a long time. They closed up and retired early. At least they sent us a notice ahead of time, so we could find replacements. It sucks because it is getting really difficult to find doctors who speak English enough to properly diagnose you. The one I have now is extremely busy and it takes several days to get in to see him. He is good, but I'm usually over the symptoms by the time I get in. I end up going to an Urgent Care clinic instead.

Isn't it funny how the MSM waits until a week after the election to report this stuff? Pretty much what we have been discussing in this thread:

Buyer's remorse? Yeah, America is going to be eating platefuls of it from 2014 to infinity.

What I find interesting is the article makes it sound like the pharmaceutical companies are going to eat the cost. They are they are going to add it to the cost of goods. This is going to add to the cost all the way down the line. Since it is a cost of medical services provided, it will also add to the cost of health insurance allowed to be passed on to patients.

I read that article earlier. You're going to hear more and more about these 'cost cutting' measures from now on in regards to obamacare.

And the states hit most with tax increases in 2013 due to Obamacare, all supported Obama. Unfortunately one is where I live.

It seems that as the dems find out what really is in the Obamacare bill, they are slowly but surely taking it apart. Guess they do not like what they created.
