Yeah, those guys should be voted out of office. So should the ones promising to take from some to give to the poor while not doing anything to change the situation for political gain. We need a reset.

You may be covered already but if you are not let us know how it goes....You could be the first one here at RIU to float BarryO's boat...If some one reads this post and has already signed up feel free to chime in...So that way we would know if you are going to be the first one or not...

OBcare is the greatest thing on the planet!! All you have to do is pay the penalty every year. I mean - yeah - that sucks but it's not much money. Then, when you do get sick, just go online and sign up because they don't check if you're sick. So for instance, you're humming along paying the penalty for a couple years and you discover some kind of lump on your back or maybe have a lot of pain somewhere, etc. You just go on the site and sign up and hit the Dr the next day. That's it - so simple even a cave man could do it.
Now go out and get high kids and forget all this crap.

so, to say that blacks vote democrat because democrats always promise more free giveaways to "the poor" (which of course really means minorities) is racist, but to suggest that physicians, arguably the smartest profession on the planet, might vote against democrats is proof of their greedy self-interested nature?
whats next?
Lawyers vote democrat in the main because they are such kind and honest people that they really dont care if the democrats also just happen to oppose tort reform?
but
Smal business owners vote republican because they are all just looking out for their own interests, and because they march in lockstep with "Big Business", "Big Oil", "Big Tobacco", "Big Pharma", "Big Farming", and "Big Retail"?
youre retarded.

Does socialism include taxation, as you understand it? I have no idea.

I was trying to figure out why he has such a poor perception of doctors and found this gem. Now it all makes sense.

Well, I watch, not that I usually do, but, in your case, sure. It is a twisted perception. But, the the twist is in the Headline.
He never said that. More lies. Just like saying Polisi said she didn't read the Bill. Not what she said, at all. And not just a mangled, out of context, but in her words, twisted sound bite.
No. A Big Lie. And so is this Headline.
He was not saying that at all. For shame as to what the Media has become. And buyer beware.
It is the step up of the War on Fat.
Don't you see it? Always subtle at first. We have other examples, now. Food labeling, etc. There as a Lady, last Halloween that passed out small bags of nuts. Healthy. Boring.
But, I found out, because she tossed Weight Watcher coupons into the fat kids bags. Says she will do that again this year.
The War on Fat, began before this. But, it is a key element in ObamaTax and future, tax credits, etc. .....in 1984.

States include taxation. Some states are socialist, some capitalist.

a TAD insulting???
he as much as declared that doctors will deliberately let a wound fester so they can amputate, just to make a buck.
what a shitbag.
but then he is a lawyer, and lawyers are always jealous of the status of physicians.
any physician will sacrifice a lot to help his patient, while no lawyer has ever done a damned thing for anyone if they couldnt get money or publicity out of the deal.

so thats your way of saying "Yes, No and Maybe".
how refreshingly EXACTLY THE SAME AS ALWAYS, you vague piece of crap.
any time you are in danger of making a stand on any issue, no matter how simple, you squirm away from it on a trail of mucus, like a hagfish.
because you are a sycophant of Chompsky, you think this makes you seem clever.
Protip: it makes you seem like a slimy revolting bottom feeder. sometimes appearances are NOT deceiving

Doctor-owned businesses that act as middlemen between medical device makers and hospitals are “inherently suspect” and some of their practices may violate U.S. anti-kickback laws, a government inspector general said.
Daniel Levinson, the inspector general for the Health and Human Services Department, today issued an unusual “special fraud alert” about so-called physician-owned distributorships, or PODs. The companies sell medical devices that the doctor owners then use in surgical procedures on their own patients.
The greatest concern is about implantable medical devices, an area in which doctors have wide latitude in selecting the type and brand of device that will be used in patients. When the doctor performing the surgery also has an ownership interest in the distributor of the device, the risk of fraud and abuse is substantial, Levinson’s office said in its notice.
“Anytime a few bad actors determine the treatment and care of patients, as this warning makes clear, patient safety is put at risk and millions of dollars are lost to fraud,” Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, the senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee who has been tracking the use of PODs, said in an e- mail. “I will continue to scrutinize these high-risk structures and demand answers from HHS.”
Doctor-owned suppliers can help reduce health-care costs when operated ethically and legally, said John Steinmann, an orthopedic surgeon who is an owner of the distributor Inland Spine & Orthopedics in Redlands, California.

Doctor-owned suppliers can help reduce health-care costs when operated ethically and legally, said John Steinmann, an orthopedic surgeon who is an owner of the distributor Inland Spine & Orthopedics in Redlands, California.
In a report on Tuesday, the Office of Inspector General said its longstanding guidance “makes clear that the opportunity for a referring physician to earn a profit, including through an investment in an entity for which he or she generates business, could constitute illegal remuneration under the anti-kickback statute.”
The regulator was addressing physician owned distributors, or PODs, which are most commonly used in orthopedics.
“The anti-kickback statute is violated if even one purpose of the remuneration is to induce such referrals” by healthcare professionals in PODs, the report said.
The language in the report “can’t get any more damning,” said Cowen & Co analyst Dr. Josh Jennings.”
