[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was clearly biased and failed to moderate - the majority of the time Ryan spoke Biden was mumbling away. Clearly Biden was trying to make up for Obama but really it was too much. I was part of the undecided group and was so put off by Biden and the moderator's ambush that Ive come to my decision - Romney/Ryan ![/quote]

I hope you aren't under 54 and that you don't make between $200-$250,000 HHI then, because if you are, you are voting for your own demise.[/quote]

I'm 36 with HHI 300k. I'm also a physician and frankly scared of obamacare for my patients. [/quote]

Would you please elaborate the specific reasons for your fear? BTW AMA endorsed Obamacare.[/quote]

Private practice will not survive Obamacare. Physicians will be forced to either go cash pay only or work for hospital systems. Working for a hospital system will mean rationed care and administrative nonsense. I did not go into medicine to practice medicine according to bureaucratic guidelines. Medicine really is somewhat of an art - there are so many factors involved in a patient's care that there is more than one way to approach things. The best and brightest will no longer go into medicine - just get a nurse practitioner to follow cookie cutter guidelines. On a side note, I'm sick of people thinking doctors are independently wealthy or somehow money hungry. After 4yrs undergraduate, there is 4yrs of med school which can put you easily in 250k debt. Then there is internship and residency which is typically at least 4yrs where compensation is maybe $35-40k per year for 70+hr work weeks. [/quote]

How is this different from insurance companies?  Look, every time befpre a medical procedure was conducted, the doctor's office called the insurance company to make sure it was covered.  If the procedure was not covered, the practice would inform me of the cost and I had to produce a credit card.  You act like this has not been occurring for the last couple of decades.  My BF has been treating with a periodontist for the last ten to twelve years.  Her periodontist required cash/cc up front.  The office helped you complete the insurance form, but it was up to my BF to deal with the insurance company, not the doctor.  [/quote]
