Because it forces doctors to accept patients but it dose not force insurance companies to cover the treatments so doctors will have to sit there and beg to be paid... Guess who wins that argument.

Really
The law doesnt force insurance companys to pay for treatments?

It forces doctors to accept the insurance from the healthcare reform so they go in and preform the treatments, but the insurance companies don't have to cover most treatments. If the person is poor & cant pay then it falls on the doctor to beg the insurance company to cover.

This health care will be good for a check up- and a prescription to codeine NyQuil. Break a leg or have a intensive surgery and you are still gonna be fucked financially.

I am 51, when I was in High School the dream was to either be a Pilot, Auto Worker or Doctor. Now 30 some years later all of those jobs are crap. Sad state of the Union for sure. With that said, Doctors my say they are going to quit but dont think for a minute they will. All that schooling, all those years of practice, what are they going to do? Several of my neighbors are Pilots they say the same thing but not one can come up with an idea of what to do.

Besides we all bitch about ceos getting lots of money, two of my neighbiors make 500k a year and work maybe three days a week. Doctors make a ton of money around here, Im not saying they are not worth it but something has to give in all three of those examples.
