The doctors will be getting paid by the exact same insurance companies they are right now so just how is Obamacare going to drive them into big corporations????
First, they will not be getting the same amount they are now. There are a large number of doctors that refuse to accept certain insurance companies, and / or medicare, because the reimbursements are too small. However, when EVERYONE is part of a govt plan, then what choice does a doctor have? Either accept a lower rate, or take what money you have and retire. If you are young, then go into suing doctors, which will pay MUCH MORE than actually being a doctor.
for most of us very little is changing,
Also not true. Some of the proposals will penalize doctors for sending patients to specialist. This will reduce your ability to get an expert opinion. Just like the PM in Canada had to come to the US for treatment [I believe he said his life was more important than being PC and staying in Canada]. So, if you have good insurance, and the doctor is no longer allowed to provide the care you needed, do you have the cash to go to another country?
for about 30 million uninsured there will be change...
Yes, they will have better care, and the 120 million others will have worse care. Good thing if you are ONE of the 30 mil. SUCKS SHIT THRU A STRAW if you are one of the 120 mil that will get worse service and possibly die earlier.
change to having insurance which will allow doctors to be paid for their services.
This article is a bunch of nonsense.

Danni, have you ever worked for an insurance company? A doctor's office? Do you know how insurance works? And, as a bonus question... can you imagine having to call someone like the IRS agents when you want care?
