Where have all the doctors gone in ObamaCare?
Where have all the doctors gone in ObamaCare? Judd Gregg of New Hampshire asked today on the floor of the Senate trying to pass the U.S. House of Representatives healthcare reconciliation bill.
An IBD/TIPP Poll shows 45% of all doctors in the United States are considering closing their practice or retiring early now that ObamaCare has passed. Also, 65% say they oppose government take over of the health care system. Just 33% supported it.
Given that the White House and Congress plan to provide health care coverage for 31 million new patients while at the same time cutting costs from the $2.4 trillion a year we spend on medical care, I thought it was important to reveal that doctors won’t go along with this insanity.
What I found was that of the 800,000 physicians practicing in the U.S. in 2006, as many as 360,000 may leave the profession now. So with this healthcare overhaul, we're trying to cover 31 million more patients with up to 45% fewer doctors.
Impossible. It can't be done.
