Well, just speaking from personal experience and observation, I don't find it hard to believe at all that many peoples health suffers greatly, including dying, from lack of health insurance. Health care can be insanely expensive and if you are self-employed as many of my friends are it can wipe you out or lead you to avoid getting treatment you need.

No doubt the MSM won't be enlightening the public about this. Thanks.

Any reasonable mind would see that such a buyoff will come out of taxpayers' pockets, and those who must pay off these deficits long into the future. A tactic to hide the costs of Obamacare. This smacks of those off-balance-sheet obligations that brought down Enron. Where is Sarbanes-Oxley when we really need it??

The AMA is a poor mouthpiece for the average doc. It is also a poor negotiator. A playground schoolboy could see that support for Obamacare places docs' incomes in serious peril. The automatic Medicare reimbursement decreases, although a serious problem, will look sweet compared to what we can anticipate from the medical Leftists. Claiming the AMA represents all of medicine is like claiming NOW represents all women.

I think they need to be more worried then paying off the doctors. Under this horrible healthcare bill, WAGES for all healthcare professionals will have to be contained or cut. Graduate highschool students won’t be entering the healthcare profession, only to make an exsistance. Healthcare professionals are required by law to get continuing educational credits-usually not covered by the employer to keep their licensure. Only exception that I know of is nursing assistants. Added to the fact that the healthcare profession has a “higher rate,”of bodily injury than construction workers. Catholic hospitals will close their doors in the event abortion is just considered a medical procedure.
