I think in the pecking order health care is far from the top of the list. Obama didn't do a good job of selling it before and I believe that he tried. I am totally against it, not because of the good it could do for people but because I do not feel the health community is ready for millions more patients and it's going to get ugly. You just cannot add those kind of numbers into the equation and not expect to have massive problems. If anything the Dems need to be honest with people. Obama lied, he said it wasn't a tax, he said people could keep the insurance they had if they wanted and millions of those lied to are democrats.
We have a number of doctors in our family, some are surgical specialists who will make money no matter what, but the two who are in family practice aren't interested in accepting any new patients. They don't have to and so don't plan to. Another cousin is with a physician grp contracted to handle 2 hospitals for radiology they have told the hospital we bill you, you bill the patient, patient doesn't pay, too bad you still pay us. Hospital said no thanks, physican group said replace us and you have 90 days. Hospital is sweating they know they can't replace them. These kind of things will happen all over the medical community and things far worse. When they do it's going to be impossible for Obama and crew to turn this sows ear into a silk purse.
This "legacy" of Obama's was a pizz poor plan poorly executed and doomed to fail IMO.
