As the political climate increases, it surprises me how many business owners say they will vote for President Obama when he is doing more to destroy business than any president since Jimmy Carter and his ridiculous “windfall profit tax”–you might remember.

Already, I have had patients that are business owners say that they have laid employees off or have decided not to expand their businesses in preparation for Obamacare.

Rather than growing their businesses, they are scaling back to avoid the requirement to pay insurance rates that will skyrocket as they attempt to pay everything for everybody or pay the $695 per person, penalty.

And the elderly must really be growing demented. With the recent booing of Paul Ryan by members of the AARP, they must not understand what will happen as President Obama steals over 700 billion dollars out of Medicare, taking away from those who have worked to make America great to give to many of those who simply won’t work.

As a physician, I continue to do my best to see people who need or want my services whether they have insurance or not. But with these changes I may be forced to drop my Medicare contract as payments to providers decrease and the misdirected demands for accountability increase. 

Good luck with that.
