Obama and his Obama care put the government smack dab between the doctor and patient. The government taking more and more control over how a doctor is paid has manipulated doctors into doing what they are told by big brother. Ahhh socialized medicine… My primary insists that my visit with him is never more than ten minutes because that is what he is allowed. My doctor, who is a friend, requires me to fill out forms with questions making sure he is doing what he is told to do it’s absolutely top down medicine. If the questions are answered correctly he is given a better rating and is able to continue his practice. To me it’s communism. Of course the “TOP” doesn’t have all of these rules. They were exempt from the socialized medicine they forced on all of us common folk. Just take the pill or the injection and have a nice passing, it’s for the good of the collective whole not the individual.

Writing from personal experience, I was in college with premed students and can say that they were intent on becoming physicians either as a an occupational drive inherited from physician parent(s) or from a sincere urge to practice the medical arts. Back then the Buick was known as the doctor's car. Then the AMA finally got the bribe from the fed it had held out support for and the big bucks began to flow. Premed students actually altered lab exams to handicap those behind them and thus, they thought, perhaps improve their chance for admission to med school. And now the Porsche has become the new doctor's car. Big money corrupts.
