How Hospitals Are Addressing Physician Shortages
“The more we can expand the care team, the better patient access we can provide.”

Hey FITS: I’d love to see a real “post mortem” of what the so-called Affordable Care Act [“ObamaCare”] has done to the healthcare industry in SC. Anecdotally, it seems to have caused alot of doctors to retire early, and then consolidated and corporatized healthcare. It certainly hasn’t made health care cheaper for Americans, which was the number one desire of the people and the number one promise of the Marxist Democrats. And the so-called nonprofit provider institutions are actually going up head-to-head to compete with the for-profit industry, but with the market-distorting advantage of tax exempt status and public debt financing.
Obamacare broke records for enrollment for the third straight year.
The people have spoken.
yeah…Saddam Hussein and Hugo Chavez also won their elections by increasingly larger margins every election cycle….that didn’t mean that the will of the people had “spoken.” And when the government takes control of essentially an entire industry and shuts down pretty much all other options except the health care plans offered for government employees and large unions, increased enrollment doesn’t necessarily mean its what the people want. So again I ask: did it produce lower health care costs, which is essentially what all the people wanted who didn’t desire single payor?
Anyone who so casually throws out terms they have no idea of their definition, to disparage a position or group, immediately forfeits all credibility. ‘Marxist Democrats’ indeed? We can’t be both you twit.
Leo, rest assured I do not use the term casually, and I most indeed know what marxism is – the term is very, very apt. Want a good visual for starters? The national democrat convention attendees soulfully singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” for decades. John himself said it was basically the communist manifesto. Bernie Sanders, a self- declared socialist, has caucused with the Democrat Party for essentially his entire career, even running for the Democratic presidential nominee. The number of scholarly works tracing the intertwined history of the american socialist and communist socialist parties going back to the FDR era forward is very, very well documented. When the DNC had moved far enough leftwards in the Clinton era and thereafter, practically every significant socialist political party in America, one by one, dissolved and folded into the DNC. So yes, you twit, you can most definitely be both, because they are, for all practical purposes, the same.
