Medical Revolt Over Obamacare
CNSNews.com– Nearly one-third of all practicing physicians may leave the medical profession if President Obama signs current versions of health-care reform legislation into law, according to a survey published in the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The survey, which was conducted by the Medicus Firm, a leading physician search and consulting firm based in Atlanta and Dallas, found that a majority of physicians said health-care reform would cause the quality of American medical care to “deteriorate” and it could be the “final straw” that sends a sizeable number of doctors out of medicine.

Under Obamacare, IRS Has Power to Penalize Americans Who Refuse to Buy Required Insurance
In another indictment of Obamacare, a congressional report has found that the IRS will have the power to penalize, by means of fines, Americans who refuse to buy required, government insurance. This further, nauseating factor of Obamacare is actually merely a symptom of what the report by the House Ways and Means Committee is really saying: greatly expanded powers for the IRS to encroach upon the lives of average Americans. In the report titled “The Wrong Prescription: Democrats’ Health Overhaul Dangerously Expands IRS Authority,” other ills of Obamacare are outlined in ever more shocking detail.
Some of these include the power of the IRS under Obamacare to: confiscate Americans’ tax refunds as a doubly insulting complement to aforementioned penalties for not buying government-mandated insurance; the likelihood of IRS audits (always nice around this time of year) increasing; and the swelling of an already unpopular bureaucracy by increasing by nearly 17000 the number of IRS auditors and agents!

Boehner to Pelosi: “Every Member Should Stand Before the American People and Announce Vote”
Boehner
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) requesting that the final health care votes be recorded by “call of the roll” so that every lawmaker is required to publicly announce their vote on the House floor.
“This weekend’s votes will be among the most consequential votes we will ever cast as Members of Congress,” Boehner says in the letter to Speaker Pelosi. “As such, it is my belief that every Member should stand before the American people and announce his or her vote as the final decision is made.”
According to the rules of the House of Representatives, “Unless the Speaker directs otherwise, the Clerk shall conduct a record vote or quorum call by electronic device. … The Speaker may direct the Clerk to conduct a record vote or quorum call by call of the roll. In such a case the Clerk shall call the names of Members, alphabetically by surname.”

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Obama and his gouls are domestic terrorists .
Good for John Boehnerl for his saying that. He again put them on the spot. If they won’t do it, taunt them. If the bill is so wonderful and if most American’s are truly for it, what’s the problem, what are you scared of? Why wouldn’t they stand for all the world to see them vote for this bill? The truth is, they know it’s crap and most know it’s real reason, and they’re scared of the hangman.
WE are already less than 8 months away from voting these Clowns of Socialism out the door patriots!
Unrecorded voting, the cowards way out.
Yes this bill will drive doctors out. They are among the most intelligient people in society(Howard Dean excepted). These doctors will give up practice and become medical researchers or something similar. Meanwhile, we will be on waiting lists to see the few physicians left.
I could see this coming months ago. It should have been a part of the conversation. Should this bill pass, the good docs will set up shop in central America in whatever country works best with the taxes and lawsuit limitations. Those who have money left after the taxman cometh, will be able to get healthcare in central America. Much like the canadians do now. Some docs will retire. Med school enrollment will drop off dramatically. I doubt you’ll see any geriatric specialists anymore. Another thing that’s scary is electronic medical records. Fedzilla will know everything about everybody.
You all are so awesome, thank you so much.
Enforced by the IRS? That’s sick. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help,” as Ronald Reagan identified the nine scariest words in the English language.
