Quick! Look! Free-market medicine! [Darleen Click]

I’m sure ObamaCare will figure out someway to punish these guys

Because ObamaCare is not, and never has been, about “providing healthcare for all.”

    How a country that can’t make a fucking twinkie is supposed to implement a complex scheme like obamacare needs some explaining.

    Obamacare already has found a way to stop this sort of thing: no new physician owned hospitals.

    The guys in the video can’t even expand their business:
    “Section 6001 of the health care law effectively bans new physician-owned hospitals (POHs) from starting up, and it keeps existing ones from expanding.” Politico adds, “Friday [New Year's Eve 2011] marked the last day physician-owned hospitals could get Medicare certification covering their new or expanded hospitals, one of the latest provisions of the reform law to go into effect.”

    That’s only a problem if they want to participate in Medicare, Libby. I’m guessing we’re going to see a thriving market in cash-based medical care outside of the coming Leviathan. The lawyers have been preying on the doctors for generations; it’s only fair that they chip in now to help their medical friends set up businesses that will skirt the new rules.
