Bet there are many stories like this on our side of the pond … but if the Leftstream Media refuses to cover them, do they actually exist? A leading neurosurgeon has admitted that he is quitting the NHS because he can longer bear the bureaucracy and health and safety regulations which ban him from wearing a wrist watch. Despite being one of Britain’s most eminent surgeons, Henry Marsh will quit

ObamaCare’s Ministry of Choice [Darleen Click]
Oh my, I bet you didn’t see this coming. You just might want to pay attention to the latest health insurance jargon. It could mean thousands of dollars out of your pocket. The Obama administration has given the go-ahead for a new cost-control strategy called “reference pricing.” It lets insurers and employers put a dollar limit on what health plans pay for some expensive procedures, such as knee and hip

Oh look! People have ObamaCare, but no doctor! Unexpectedly [Darleen Click]
And they call it, “medical homelessness” … While open enrollment for coverage under the Affordable Care Act is closed, many of the newly insured are finding they can’t find doctors, landing them into a state described as “medical homelessness.” Rotacare, a free clinic for the uninsured in Mountain View, is dealing with the problem firsthand. Mirella Nguyen works at the clinic said staffers dutifully helped uninsured clients sign up for

ObamaCare’s #WarOnDoctors [Darleen Click]
Dear Congressman Brooks, As a practicing family physician, I plead for help against what I can best characterize as Washington’s war against doctors. The medical profession has never before remotely approached today’s stress, work hours, wasted costs, decreased efficiency, and declining ability to focus on patient care. In our community alone, at least 6 doctors have left patient care for administrative positions, to start a concierge practice, or retire altogether.

Another Emily Litella Barry Obama moment [Darleen Click]
Never mind. … WASHINGTON — With less than a week left for people to sign up for health insurance, the Obama administration said Tuesday that it would allow more time for those who had tried to apply but were blocked by technical problems with the federal exchange. Several states running their own exchanges, including Maryland, Minnesota and Nevada, have taken similar steps in the last two weeks. Open enrollment was

White House & Leftist acolytes attack Matt Drudge for revealing his first ObamaCare penalty tax [Darleen Click]
Why yes, Dorthy, self-employed people do pay estimated quarterly taxes … The brouhaha started when Drudge tweeted, “Just paid the Obamacare penalty for not ‘getting covered’… I’M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX.” Jesse Lee, the Director of Progressive Media at Barack Obama’s White House, responded that that was a “Flat lie, no fee for previous year,” adding, “Scary how much influence he once had.” Lee’s response to Drudge set off

“We nag you, because we love you.” [Darleen Click]
If said by a mother to any adult offspring, “love” is less the motive than “want to control.” And the more precise statement, “We nag you because, you will do what we want, damn it” is the raison d’être of the Left, the “or else” implicit. Yeah, this will make young adults jump to the loving arms of ObamaCare

…Second verse … same as the first … [Darleen Click]
Barry and his Mighty Pen have struck again! The Obama administration announced another delay Monday in the requirement on businesses to provide health coverage to workers, giving some employers a reprieve next year while phasing in the mandate for others. The administration had already delayed the implementation of the so-called employer mandate by a year, initially pushing the requirements off until 2015 — past the midterm elections. In a concession

“I can quit my job, pick my neighbor’s pocket and never feel guilty! Thank you, ObamaCare!” [Darleen Click] UPDATED
I’m just agog at the spin the Obama apparatchiks are putting on the 2.5 million job loss due to ObamaCare Count Polly Lower among those who quit their jobs because of the health-care law. It happened in September, when her boss abruptly changed her job description. She went from doing payroll, which she liked, to working on her boss’s schedule, which she loathed. At another time, she might have had
