So I read an article on cnn today. It was about how doctors are leaving their practices is droves.

I bet you’re saying, but we have a huge problem with lack of doctors in America! We can’t afford to lose any of them! And you’d be right. One of the arguments I see on TV against the health care reform that Barack Obama wants to institute is that there aren’t enough doctors to go around! But why is that?

Well, according to this article, doctors are paid as much by insurance companies today, as they were 15 years ago. Now, call me crazy, but when I look around at what things cost, I can’t buy ANYTHING as cheaply as I did 15 years ago. Why is health care the exception?

Oh but it’s not. Health care costs have skyrocketed. It’s just that insurance companies don’t pay their fair share.

So why is it that consumers insurance policies to cover them and ensure they can go to see doctors has skyrocketed? They claim it’s because the cost of care has skyrocketed… but doctors say they aren’t getting any of that money!

To add insult to injury, their malpractice insurance is something like $150,000 a year. Sounds like double dipping to me! Not only will they not pay the doctors for their services, they gouge them to cover them in case something goes amiss.

One doctor was saying that if a patient comes in with an ailment, he must first contact the insurance company and get approval to treat this individual. This can take days and in the case of some obvious medical condition, could lead to the doctor being sued for not taking immediate action.

But wait, I thought that the gov’t only wanted to get between you and your doctor! Sounds like a load of horse shit to me. If anyone is getting between you and your doctor, it’s private insurance companies!

It’s no wonder there’s so much misinformation floating around right now. Telling people their quality of care is going to decline. That government death panels will deny you care and that the doctor shortage is going to leave you high and dry when you need care… because insurance companies are precipitating that exact senario RIGHT NOW!

When highly trained and seasoned doctors are leaving their professions to make jewelry because they can’t pay their bills anymore, that has to give you pause. No government program or officials are causing this to happen. Greedy insurance companies are.

But… Who trains all these doctors in the first place? I found that a rather funny answer. It’s the government. Medicare pays out over $9 Billion a year to train doctors to meet our nations health care needs. While they are doing this, insurance companies are driving experienced doctors out of business.

Don’t forget… it’s Obamacare that you need to fear. Not the compassionate, caring insurance companies that deny insured people the care need every day. Sure..Right.

I keep hearing about how we need to wake up to what our government is doing and I completely agree. THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP US!!!!!! They are trying to protect us from greedy companies who don’t care about you. They care about the almighty dollar and nothing else.

So PLEASE! Wake up! Educate yourself to what is REALLY happening. Who REALLY has your best interests at heart and it isn’t some cold blooded, uncaring health insurance executive. He’s got his and he wants to make sure he’s got yours too.

For reference, this is the article I read on cnn.com. Educate yourself america. Knowledge is the most powerful tool imaginable!
