Show proof of this.
Question: Why does it cost as much at animal hospitals as it does for humans even though vets do not have to buy expensive liability and malpractice insurance?
I am talking about basic medical needs and not brain surgery.
Show proof of this.
But we're not talking about what you would do. We're talking about Obamacare.
And doesn't Medicare deny more claims on average than the insurance industry?
Even if it decreases the number of physicians?
Wait - are you saying the gub'mint has a less bureaucratic system than private insurers?
Kinda yeah.
Currently, there are insurance companies that follow the exact rules that Medicare has in place.
:2wave:
The sign clearly refuses treatment to patients, despite the doctor's denial. He is in violation of the Hippocratic oath and Florida law, and should be prosecuted for his cutesy Teabag behavior.
Abortion is a violation of the Hypocratic Oath, too, but we don't hear the Libs getting their panties in a knot over that. In fact, hasn't it been proposed that doctors be required to perform abortions, even going against their religious convictions? Wasn't there a doc/nurse fired recently because she refused to perform/participate in an abortion?
Doctors are not forced to perform abortions. They refer patients to doctors that do.

PBO wants to rescind law protecting medical professionals for refusing to perform abortions. Abortions are in conflict with the Hypocratic Oath, since some of you folks seem to be worried about it so much.

No, abortions are not against the hippocratic oath. I would love to see how you prove that one.
And doctors do not perform abortions if they don't want to do so. In fact, general practitioners and family medicine practitioners don't perform them at all. They refer patients who want abortions to specific abortion doctors.
I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
I'm no fan of Obama, but he is totally justified in rescinding that measure by Bush. It was worded in such a way that it would allow doctors to refuse birth control to patients also. Read your own sources before you post them. It will help you to avoid self destruction of your argument.
So much for religious freedom. eh?
Your wish is my command, sir.
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
That's not the hippocratic oath doctors take today. So MASSIVE FAIL.
Today's Hippocratic Oath
But how can that be? The private sector is always superior, efficient, and wise! The government is always an evil, bloated, lazy bureaucracy!
Oops. Shame when those little details get in the way of a perfectly good rant.
It has absolutely nothing to do with religious freedom. It's about doing ones job.
Do you oppose soldiers declaring a contiencious objector status in the United States military? Killing the enemy is a soldier's job. Yes?
