Obamacare

While the US Supreme Court is considering ObamaCare, the American Medical
Association has finally weighed in on Obama's two-year-old health care package.

The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised
not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the
Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a
misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said,
"Oh, grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists
could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists
claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow.

The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face
on the matter".

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed
off at the whole idea.

Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists
didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the
a-holes in Washington.

What actually happened was the AMA which only represents 17% of all physicians, and those 17% are primarily in academia, sold their soul in order to maintain their death grip on their monopoly of the CODING system required for every physician to utilise to get reimbursed from Insurance Companies. They got that little deal in the 1990's when the Dems were trying to jam HillaryCare through. This Coding system has led to a dramatic increase in overhead for all practices, all to feed the AMA. The overwhelming majority of physicians who actually treat patients, not teach- despise what Obamacare is doing to the medical field.
