Doctors avoid Florida? Wait a minute. Doctors won't move to Florida to reap huge salaries from the aging population base because they might have to get fingerprinted. Yeah, right. I didn't want to move to Indiana because I would have to get a new picture taken for my driver's license. Pretty tough decision. I could see were some doctors might get upset. Some of them think that because they save people's lives that they are a god. This observation was made by someone who had a good working relationship with doctors for over 40 years. Fingerprinting them would pop their bubble. I would think that doctors would want a national database and fingerprint identification to prevent shabby doctors from relocating and continuing their malpractice in other states. This happens regularly today.
