Remember when Brokeback Shitstain Obama said healthcare costs would decrease by $2,500 per family and wouldn't cost taxpayers any money?

The lie detector test determined THAT WAS A LIE. Yet another failure in the "signature" law the Douchebag in Chief rammed down our throats. Looking more and more that his legacy will simply be described as FAILURE.

Medic, sad (or funny story)...a buddy of mine and I that use to go over to OSU games together and were sitting in Joe's having a few pre-game beers and up walks one of his clients, a doctor (some kind of geriatric specialist). Usually we would get a big table and then reserve the seating for other friends that were showing up a bit later, we would share the spaces with others upon the answer of no to two questions. One, did you vote for Obama (if yes hit the road our friends are right outside and will be here in a couple of minutes), second do you ever cheer for UO (same; hit the road). I asked the doctor question one and he said yes then launched into what a great deal the rodent in chief signature law would be and how he was actually going to delay retirement because of the positive effects it would have on his business. I just laughed at him, but because he was my buddies client and I didn't want that to carryover to the business side of the relationship I let him join us. He kept rambling on about what a great historical thing this was and how costs would go down blah blah blah.

Well guess what, he retired and earlier than he wanted due to costs going up and reimbursements going down, and in some cases losing clients who couldn't afford the "new affordable" plans (they would just go to ER's). I haven't talked with him since, but my buddy said the shine had worn off the turd for the doc.

Familiar story. One of my friends who was a family practice doc with a fairly small practice recently closed his practice and moved to northern California to teach science at a private high school. His undergrad was in education and he recently finished his masters. Why? Because when you add up the hours, overhead, and new BS, his medical practice became not worth it.
