20090618 healthcare 150x150 Nearly One Third of Doctors Could Leave Medicine if ObamaCare Passes

CNSNews.com is reporting:

Nearly one-third of all practicing physicians may leave the medical profession if President Obama signs current versions of health-care reform legislation into law, according to a survey published in the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

The survey, which was conducted by the Medicus Firm, a leading physician search and consulting firm based in Atlanta and Dallas, found that a majority of physicians said health-care reform would cause the quality of American medical care to “deteriorate” and it could be the “final straw” that sends a sizeable number of doctors out of medicine.

More than 29 percent (29.2) percent of the nearly 1,200 doctors who responded to the survey said they would quit the profession or retire early if health reform legislation becomes law. If a public option were included in the legislation, as several liberal Senators have indicated they would like, the number would jump to 45.7 percent.

Think you have to wait now to make an appointment or see a specialist? Just wait until the government gets involved even more than it already is.

Additionally, remember the preposterous promises being made by those in favor of government-run health care. Not only will more people be covered, a vast new bureaucracy made to oversee medical care, but the costs will supposedly go down without sacrificing quality. I’m not sure what’s more incredible - the lies promoting ObamaCare or the number of people who actually believe it.
