This is hardly a surprise. Obamacare was crafted with one goal in mind -- single payer government-run health care. Every part of it is designed to put private health insurance companies out of business.

This is why I got out of the alternative energy field, once the Govt gets involved, (in anything) the only ones that make money are the big guys, they are the only ones whom can afford to deal with the red tape and regs.

Yikes!

No worries. If the Obama agenda is allowed to continue, doctors will likely be faced with a simple choice.........................go to work and serve the people, or pay a fine that will put you into bankruptcy.

Don't forget, it's now allowed for the government to fine/tax people for not doing something.  :sad:

Actually many of the doctors in the US have been foreign born, if not foreign trained,  for years. They come here for training and never go back. Good for the US, bad for many of these countries. Where would you rather do your doctoring. In the US where you can get the right equipment, drugs and actually help your patients. Or back in the home country where getting sterile needles is often difficult, the drug cabinet is empty of everything except aspirin, and often you can do little more than try to make your patients comfortable while they die.

And the pays not shabby either. 10 grand for a procedure here would get them 3 chickens and a goat in their country. :wink:

I have no problem with foreign born doctors. In fact I almost prefer them. They take their US citizenship seriously. Unlike a growing number of those born in the US.

You're missing the point. You really need to go to some third world country and see their medical "schools" and then talk about their "doctoring". I know a half dozen doctors who got their degree in a country where they DON'T HAVE a cat scan machine in but ONE Hospital.

Lots of these 'Doctors' have to be retrained when they get to the US or they have to be certified to US medical Standards. Ditto for many of the nurses these foreign countries "crank out".

Who do you think Hires these people when they get to the US...thats right...the VA or other Govt hospitals...or Free Clinic or whatever...they hire them because they work cheap...relatively. yeah, they get the training but the do a lot of trial an error on the poor saps who are their patients.

The whole point is you are getting substandard medical care with these folks until you get them up to speed...no matter how long it takes.

So they have to retrain them, and introduce them to American medicine so to speak. And this includes doctors and nurses from so called advanced first world countries, like Russia or man of the European countries. The point is, that once they are trained - they don't go back.

UK doctors strike despite $105,000-a-year pension offer

LONDON -- British doctors staged their first strike in nearly 40 years Thursday over plans to increase the amount they pay into their pension fund and make them work until they are 68, ITV News reported.

The government says doctors would receive more than $105,000 a year after the age of 68 under its proposals.

However the British Medical Association, which represents doctors, says the highest earning doctors will have to pay 14.5 percent of their pay into the pension fund by 2014, compared with 8.5 percent in March 2012.
