Nearly 50 percent of doctors ready to quit medicine if Healthcare bill passes

I would say you are one of those that do not understand basic economics nor do you understand civics. What economic policy did Reagan have in effect when that unemployment rate went to 10%?

You have a serious lack of understanding of just about anything when it comes to the way our govt. runs. What was the unemployment rate AFTER the Reagan tax cuts went into effect and when did that happen?
 
''Nearly 50 percent of doctors ready to quit medicine if Healthcare bill passes ''

Pathetic! That lot are supposed to be dedicated to saving lives.

I have answered the question but you didn't like the answer. you want to blame Reagan for a disaster he inherited, high inflation, high interest rates, and rising unemployment, much worse that what Obama inherited. Reagan got to work implemented the tax cuts that didn't go into effect until late 1981 thus did not impact the economy until 1982. the results are there for you to see but you choose to remain blind and ignore actual results. Reagan doubled govt. revenue with those tax cuts, doubled GDP with those tax cuts and created close to 20 million jobs with those tax cuts.

Compare that to what Obama has done and at what cost. During Reagan the American people got to keep their income, during Obama the American people get to pay the govt. for the massive expansion of Barack Obama.

BEA.gov will provide you the details that you don't seem to want to get.

Why would they quit now before the bill goes into effect? Seems like a great diversion. "Your" President claimed we had to pass the 842 billion dollar stimulus plan to keep unemployment from exceeding 8%. How did that work out for you. Obama economic policy had a much greater impact that a claim of all those doctors quiting. So keep diverting to what an article claimed while ignoring what "your" President is doing to our economy.

I posted a link today showing that hundreds of doctors were dropping Medicare but since they didn't drop out of the profession, YET, you perfer to wordsmith the article and ignore actual results.

"Ready to quit" is what the article claims. As I posted 300 doctors in the state of TX have dropped Medicare and hundreds of doctors around the nation are doing the same thing. When are you going to admit that "your" President is a disaster and this POS legislation does nothing to lower healthcare costs, improve the quality of healthcare, and increase the infrastructure for healthcare?

What about it? What does that have to do with the doubling of govt. revenue, creating 20 million jobs, and doubling GDP?

Good for them, medicare is an over utilized system by people that can afford to pay out of pocket and or buy insurance like Ross Perot, George Bush, etc..

Exactly, just like millions of others classified as uninsured but able to pay their own way. Isn't it time for a little honesty in discussing this issue? Instead of inflating the number of uninsured by including those rich people who can afford insurance but CHOOSE not to purchase it, let's focus on those who truly cannot afford to buy insurance and let the states and local communities handle this, not the Federal Govt.

I noticed what happens when the market crashes, with the right economic policy it recovers. Tell that to "your" President Obama who is growing the public sector while ignoring the private sector.

ahhhh heck I almost have agree with you. I think neither local control nor federal control are the answer. I think it is a combination of approaches that have to be utilized as policy.

Absolutely amazing, here we are over 20 years AFTER Reagan left office and you are still distorting his record and demonizing the economy then. Keep diverting from the disaster in the WH right now for if I were in your shoes that is what I would try to do as well. "Your" President is a disaster and leading this country off a cliff. those that support him are out of touch with reality. I would take the Reagan economy any day over what this empty suit is doing.

Well he F'ed up what do you want people to say? That he did not chop down the cherry tree?

From 10% unemployment to the 1987 market crash to Iran contra to Bush 41 having to raise taxes not very much about Reagan policy worked out that well. At teh moment it was great though.

The difference between Reagan and Obama is quite stark. Seems you have a problem keeping more of your own money and growing the private sector. If that is the case then Obama is certainly your man.

You really are totally oblivious to the Reagan results, how old were you during that time period? Carter had the high inflation which Reagan tamed. Your dollar was worth a lot more after the Reagan economic results than they were prior to those results.

Now 15 million unemployed Americans and another 1.2 million discouraged workers don't have a lot of money to worry about its value. How is that hope and change working out for you?

Interestingly enough, Reagan's policy was to lower taxes while increasing spending, much like that other guy, you know, the one you're calling an "empty suit."

Obama and Reagan are a lot alike in many ways. Deficit spending is one.

Reagan lowered taxes and doubled govt. revenue. Obama has lowered govt. revenue by causing greater unemployment.

Probably like far too many you were way too young to even be talking about something you don't understand, the economy of the 80's and Reaganomics. Reagan put more money into individuals' hands whereas Obama is trying to put more money into public hands. Apparently you don't know or understand the difference.

So the unemployment was not Reagan's fault, but it is Obama's fault?

What has Obama done to promote the private sector job creation? I know how badly you want to give Obama credit for anything but it just isn't meant to be. This country wasn't built on economy Obama is promoting but was built on the one Reagan promoted.

All that hatred of Reagan is misguided and unfounded, normally by people who don't like free enterprise and capitalism thus promote socialism and even worse, Marxism.

You are out of your league here and whine about that which you do not even understand.
