Poll: 83% of doctors have considered quitting because of Obamacare



How many physicians will pack it in because smaller payments from Medicare and Medicaid won't allow them to cover their expenses?

No one knows, but it's a good bet that you and I are going to have long waits to see a doctor for anything except a dire emergency.

Daily Caller:



Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama's health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.

The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme Court.

Even if doctors do not quit their jobs over the ruling, America will face a shortage of at least 90,000 doctors by 2020. The new health care law increases demand for physicians by expanding insurance coverage. This change will exacerbate the current shortage as more Americans live past 65.

By 2025 the shortage will balloon to over 130,000, Len Marquez, the director of government relations at the American Association of Medical Colleges, told The Daily Caller.

"One of our primary concerns is that you've got an aging physician workforce and you have these new beneficiaries - these newly insured people - coming through the system," he said. "There will be strains and there will be physician shortages."

The DPMA found that many doctors do not believe the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will lead to better access to medical care for the majority of Americans, co-founder of the DPMA Kathryn Serkes told TheDC.

"Doctors clearly understand what Washington does not - that a piece of paper that says you are 'covered' by insurance or 'enrolled' in Medicare or Medicaid does not translate to actual medical care when doctors can't afford to see patients at the lowball payments, and patients have to jump through government and insurance company bureaucratic hoops," she said.

People are going to be in for a rude surprise when Obamacare is fully implemented in 2014.

Im not for Obama, but I kind of think Obamacare is ok. Everyone needs to have health insurance. Also it will be a life saver for some people who didnt have health insurance and now can get it without them checking for preexisting conditions.

I got health insurance, but some of my friends dont and they are playing with fire everytime they get in a car. So IMO its a good thing. Shit I wonder how much a broken leg cost?

[Letswinalot]

I also used to have my Health and Life insurance lincenses and tried to sell it to them and they wouldnt buy it. So at least this will force them too.

Nothing, it gets written off!

Yeah right.

[wayne1218]

Yeah right.

Hospital bills get written off daily for the uninsured. Unfortunately i've had many experiences with people/family that were uninsured and the hospital basically said, don't worry about it cuz every State has a fund for exactly that, they write off uninsured claims and they get like .40 on the $ for those people from the fund. And if you have ever seen the bill for a hospital stay or ER visit, it is still a shit ton of money. Maybe you should find out a little more before just randomly throwing up dumb bs signs.

I've known many uninsured that just use the ER as their doctor when needed and they have never been turned down.

I need some special medicine and Im normal right now, but if I didnt have health insurance it would cost 30K a year.

There are ways around everything. Just ask the millions who live off the State in every State how they do it each year. I'm sure they will tell you.

Well I dont think thats a good thing. So Obamacare seems like a good thing.

and if you are normal, get off your ass and go get at job at say McDonald's, Walmart or Olive garden. They are always hiring and they all offer insurance. That would be my response to that. Don't choose a job without insurance and if you did, you better go to a place mentioned or any of a billion others and get a 2nd job there to get it. If you need it, work for it!
