Survey: 83 Percent of US Doctors Have Considered Abandoning Their Practices Over ObamaCare!

• The Truth About the Health Care Bills!  (emphasis mine)
  by Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney!
  … I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. … What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
  ….
  This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. … For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

• Survey – 83 percent of US doctors have considered abandoning their practices  over ObamaCare!

  (NaturalNews) The implications of the so-called Affordable Care Act, also  known as Obamacare, are apparently so drastic that as many as 83 percent of  private physicians have considered calling it quits. This is according to a new  survey recently released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association (DPMA), a nationwide physicians group dedicated to maintaining and protecting  individualized care for all patients.
  –
  The survey, which included nearly  700 doctors from at least 45 U.S. states, revealed that most doctors and care  providers are incensed by the nationalization of medicine, and believe that the  transition from privatized care to government-run care will further erode the  quality of healthcare in America. Not only will demand for patient care increase  dramatically as a result of the Affordable Care Act, but pay for doctors  will also decrease, which will drive many practices out of  business.

  “Doctors clearly understand what Washington does not — that a  piece of paper that says you are ‘covered’ by insurance or ‘enrolled’ in  Medicare or Medicaid does not translate to actual medical care when doctors  can’t afford to see patients at the low-ball payments, and patients have to jump  through government and insurance company bureaucratic hoops,” said DPMA  co-founder Kathryn Serkes to The Daily Caller about the survey  results.
  –
  Out of the 36,000 doctors surveyed, only 4.3 percent actually  responded, according to DPMA. The vast majority of those who responded work in  solo or small group practices, and are  office-based rather than hospital-based, representing a true cross-section of  America’s most personalized physicians. And more than three-quarters of  respondents are considered to be mid-career, meaning they have been practicing  for between 11 and 30 years.
  –
  A whopping 65 percent of respondents  indicated that their existing problems are a result of too much government  involvement, and that more government involvement in the form of the  Affordable Care Act will make things work. 95 percent of doctors also said that private practice is already suffering as a result of “corporate  medicine,” which will only get progressively worse under the Affordable Care  Act.
  –
  Interestingly, nearly 75 percent of the doctors surveyed said  less government, rather than more government, would help fix the existing  problems with the medical system. These problems presumably include things like  government oppression against so-called alternative and non-mainstream medical  treatments and procedures, as well as the persistent dilemma of “too many hands  in the financial cookie jar,” which raises medical costs for  everyone.
