A new survey of Doctors has been released. The results are bleak.
If Obamacare is fully implemented, 83 percent will consider leaving the practice of medicine. Sixty-one percent say it's an affront to their ethics. Eighty-five percent say it destroys the doctor-patient relationship. Sixty-five percent say governmental involvement is the cause of the problems in medical care now. Seventy-two percent say the insurance mandate won't result in improved access to medical care. Seventy-four percent say they'll stop accepting Medicare patients, or leave Medicare altogether. Seventy percent say reducing governmental involvement would be the single best fix for healthcare in this country. The negatives of Obamacare went on and on in the results of the survey.

My Internist, Neurosurgeon and GI specialist each told me they'll leave before paperwork , interference, and reduced net income - coupled with unchecked malpractice costs - make keeping a practice open impractical and more trouble than it's worth. They'll focus on their own family's well being, and leave it to bureaucrats to clean up the mess they created.

This is complete bull it's a link to a opinion letter that speaks about surveys but has no links to any shows no proof any even happened let alone verifies the findings of these non existent surveys only a complete idiot would give this any credit whatsoever. Not surprising a few already have lolz.

A letter to and editor of a Kansas Newspaper with no sources given. So he/she says a survey was conducted. By who, what, when, where, and why and how? Was the survey of Kansas Doctors, United States Doctors, what was the count who responded. Sorry I cannot respond when all I have is a vague letter with no data for analysis.
