Yes it's me Steve. Glad to see you ...Hi Evan! Yes it's me Steve. Glad to see you are engaged in this conversation. While I am concerned about many of the points that you made, I cannot agree. No doubt, many of us will suffer even more as universal healthcare becomes a reality. I totally agree that the technocrats and bureaucrats will show their usual ignorance and insensitivity. But I strongly believe that doctors have dropped the ball and to "wipe out ObamaCare" is coming to the party too late. Now is not the time to wipe out, but the time to come to the table and make the demands we require. Doctors are much more powerful than they realize. I think you are adding to the divisiveness rather than participating and bringing doctors together to show our true strength. By the way, to Angela, just for the record, I am a Medical Director as I do NOT accept kick-backs.Steve and Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455598078605187234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738249621305323729.post-23175467981720751762012-10-30T08:20:55.341-07:002012-10-30T08:20:55.341-07:00I've been in healthcare for many years myself.... I've been in healthcare for many years myself. While I am impressed that you admit the problem with our current healthcare system did not begin four years ago unfortunately, you are remiss in omitting the role that physicians have played with this problem. The blame must be distributed amongst the wonderful physicians that deliver care also. Physicians, Medical Directors, Hospitals, i.e. have been accepting kick-backs from vendors, self-referring, and simply not being good financial stewards for years. <br />The truth of the matter is you are concerned with the impact of ObamaCare on your wallet. It’s ok…I share the same concerns. My wages will decrease also. But how can we live in the free world and have citizens who don't have access to medical care and insurance? I think you should do some introspect. I would imagine at some point in your career in medicine it wasn’t about money. <br />Neither the government nor physicians are faultless in making unethical medical decisions against American citizens less we forget the atrocity of the Tuskegee Experiment. Being a direct descendent you can refer to me as number 319…my grandfathers number. <br />You are now asking the public to rally behind your financially motivated cause. The general population may have questions regarding ObamaCare but are we at a point in our nation that we want to start fighting for our Constitutional rights that we already have? Roe v. Wade…really? <br />Healthcare should be a right for all United States citizens. Shame on your for attempting to persuade people to make another choice based on a political or financial platform. <br />Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252772603454385474noreply@blogger.com
