Poll: two-thirds of U.S. doctors surveyed fear healthcare reform could worsen care for patients

The Truth About Obamacare
Basically, the time you get to spend with your doctor is going to be shortened. Under Obamacare, doctors will be forced to see more patients for less money per patient. They will have to cycle more people through their offices to keep up with demand and maintain revenue. There may also be long wait times for patients. Thanks, President Obama and Democrats.
(CNBC)- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. doctors surveyed fear healthcare reform could worsen care for patients, by flooding their offices and hurting income, according to a Thomson Reuters survey released Tuesday.

The survey of more than 2,900 doctors found many predict the legislation will force them to work harder for less money.

“When asked about the quality of healthcare in the U.S. over the next five years, 65 percent of the doctors believed it would deteriorate with only 18 percent predicting it would improve,” Thomson Reuters, parent company of Reuters, said in a statement.

What a totally unnecessary report. They loudly voiced their negative opinion of the bill when they immediately exempted themselves from its provisions.
