It sounds as though the scare techniques of the Tea Party has got to you. The statement of "doctors in general say they will bail out" is overblown. The "poll" taken by the Tea Party of doctors at retirement age showed that doctors of retirement age are going to think of retirement. Why not? There are plenty of younger doctors and students in medical schools to take their paces. Do not worry. Do not believe the claptrap from the Tea Party.

Chances are, Rubicon, you will not notice any difference with your healthcare from what you have right now. You get along good now, it will continue. Just think that you cannot be dropped from your health insurance if you get sick or old. That is a very good thing. Lots of plusses will take place for you. You cannot be denied health insurance for pre-existing conditions.

Once again, and nobody seems to care about this, nice benefits maybe, BUT HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT ?????

CBO has already jacked up the cost of this unread bill and it WILL rise and they will tell you that the cost will rise.

Nobody, like children at Christmas, want to address how anyone can afford this law. I have listed what the law says in regards to paying for it on a number of occassions and shown how it is ALL.....ifs and maybes.

If we cannot afford anything now, how do we add this to the country and pay for it. There WILL BE A BILL GUYS !!! IT IS NOT FREE !!!

And just a smattering of comments on Doctors...I sure cant, as you seem to think you can, predict the future but there is concern...

From the Washinton Post..

"he health-care reform law is accelerating a shift away from private practices as doctors, fearful of new costs and regulations, “run for cover” under the protection of large hospitals"

Health-care law driving doctors away from small practices, toward hospital employment - The Washington Post

From CNN....

" When the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act in a 5-4 ruling Thursday, the American Medical Association was quick to release a statement in support of the "historic" decision that will give more people access to health coverage.

But (and there's always a "but") medical professionals across the country are wondering: When an additional 32 million Americans get medical insurance, who exactly is going to treat them?

"We've expressed some concerns before about whether or not we're going to have enough physicians out there," AMA President-Elect Ardis Hoven said.

They have good reason to worry.


Your health care is covered, but who's going to treat you? - CNN.com

And someday, somehow, we need to address in this country what our President said this law would address and it does not, by his own admission.....the actual health care COSTS and TORT reform !

Plenty of doctors left in the US to treat everyone. The 32 million people will not all be seeking healthcare at one time so it is not like having 32 milliion new patients. Anyhow, look at The Villages. We have a fast growing community. About 3 years ago, it was 67,000 and now it is about 89,000. Plenty of doctors here and also lots of specialists. Quite a few from India and other countries and they are all excellent.

Plenty of doctors will still graduate medical school and become healthcare providers.

Do not fall into the brew that the Tea Party tries to scare you with.

The attached link also tells some alternatives that are very interesting.
