Hate to tell you, but it's already happened. Tossing Obamacare won't change the path we're already on.
True, but at least it wont bring down the rest of America. The only places where this was happening was the heavily democratic states (NY, MA, RI, CT, etc). That's because the democrats love trial lawyers and frivolous lawsuits. By creating an extension of medicaid, it will expand the trial lawyers' influence on the rest of America. This is going to get very, very ugly. I'm glad that I'm in mid-career...and wont have to feel the repercussions too much. I'm really concerned about our kids and the next generation.
You might've had a good start to your argument, until you said this.
Most of my friends and relatives are doctors (one of the side effects of being of Indian ethnicity) and most of the rest are in the medical field. Most of them are in favor of or at least giving the whole Obamacare thing the benefit of the doubt in terms of what it will do to the future of the industry. The only doctors I know of that are against it are happen to also earn a million plus a year (strange). One thing for sure, I've observed first hand a perceived (and most likely accurate) decline in the state of medical service provided in this country....Obamacare isn't even in effect.
