the problem he’s describing has absolutely, positively nothing to do with Obamacare. That is like saying that the Presidential election has absolutely nothing to do with stock performance. It is obviously false. The march toward socialised medicine has everything to do with doctor shortages. The best and brightest go where the rewards are the greatest. That is why medicine has always attracted many of the brightest, they could earn a million dollars per year or more without having to be CEO of a publicly traded company. Often the best doctors are eth children of doctors. Parents advise their children on careers. Doctors are steering their kids into other career paths as the rewards diminish. When you reimburse at rates below what a bright mind feels is fair compensation they look elsewhere for their rewards. If the socialist takeover sticks we will end up with a much greater percentage of medical providers being third word immigrants just like in Great Britain and other government controlled health systems.
