Mount Dora, Florida
“If they’re insulted in some way, they can leave. I do not deny care to anyone, nor do I treat anyone any differently if they come in and tell me, ‘I’m an Obama supporter.’
Mount Dora (Florida) doctor tells Obama supporters: Go elsewhere
Orlando Sentinel
A doctor who considers the national health-care overhaul to be bad medicine for the country posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care “elsewhere.”
“I’m not turning anybody away — that would be unethical,” Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. “But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it.”
The sign reads: “If you voted for Obama…seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years.”
.
Appearing in an exclusive cable TV interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto, Dr. Jack Cassell also clarified that his sign telling patients who voted for Obama to “seek urologic care elsewhere” was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion, as he was adamant that he would still take care of patients regardless of their political leanings and just wanted to send a message about the problems with Obama’s health care “reform.” It was gratifying to hear the good doctor tell his side of the story away from the liberal, mainstream media’s spin, as they had been unfairly piling on and basically accusing him of turning away Obama voters.

Bravo! Good for him!!
“Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years.”
Got to love it! It’s good for the idiots who voted for Obama to get immediate negative effects instead of seeing them years down the road.
I think it works both ways, I wouldn’t want a doctor who can’t wait for Obamacare to kick in and start determining my care based on what the government says he can do or not do for me.
There’s a poll next to the article, asking whether you think the doctor is within his rights. So far, fewer than 200 votes on this poll.
There is also a link within the article to another poll, asking whether you agree with the doctor.
No Obama care here? Is Mount Dora urologist Dr. Jack Cassell right to want Obama supporters to receive health care elsewhere?

Hes right, it starts NOW. But the most significant part will be all the new taxes. When that happens obama and his ‘Lebensborn’ program will start to decline. All these supporters of the program want free health care but none want to pay for it. Surprise…surprise.
They must have looked all over town to find that one woman who said she would be scared to go to him.
Dr Cassell can put any note he wants to on his door. He is not turning down obama voters so he is sill ethical and legal. That still won’t keep the ACLU and NAACP from harassing him.
Mark, yes “Surprise…surprise”
BobF., LOL I bet they did too.
Tom, I agree, and I bet he will get some hate directed his way, the left hates when we take a stand. I am so glad this Doctor did this.
