Title: Rule #1: Do No Harm. Rule #2: Refer to Rule #1.
Topic: Obamacare

Discussed by Dr. Jeffrey Singer
with Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org)

How does Obamacare fair with American physicians? Mary Hopkins Consulting Group, along with the Physicians Foundation, surveyed 20,000 doctors and discovered that 46% gave Obamacare a grade of “D” or “F”. Less than 25% of doctors gave the new health care system an “A” or a “B”.

Most doctors who gave a fairly good grade were government doctors, like doctors at VA hospitals, or large corporation hospitals – ER docs, residents and interns, and rotating physicians. These people do not experience the day-to-day life of patients; they don’t develop long-term relationships and trust with their patients. In other words, they are factory line doctors – get them in and out as quickly as possible. Diagnose and send them away.

Have you been allowed to keep the same insurance company? When your insurance changed, were you able to keep the same doctor you’ve been using for years or decades? Millions of people have had their insurance canceled or changed. Many times, specialists are miles and miles away from their home. Even more often, there is only one specialist to choose from! Where are the choices, Mr. President? Where are the great, cheap insurance plans you promised, Mr. President?

Dr. Singer says, “There has been so much damage done with Obamacare. Hopefully there will be an overwhelming consensus across the spectrum to put patients in charge of their healthcare once again.”
