#1 The template is made, doctors. You will accept the payment the government decides or go to jail.

#2 And when all the doctors are in jail, who will treat the people?

#3 who will treat the people?

this isn't about treatment - it's about power. The DOJ doesn't give a rat's ass about Idaho bumpkins, but they are carrying Obama's water for Obamacare

#7 Many areas have a shortage of doctors and nurses now, I'm sure Barry and his commie agenda will really help the situation.

This clown is a complete disaster.

#9 They will go to states that opt out of the national framework.

Everyone else better get used to being treated by Pakistani doctors that can barely understand the most basic english.

#10 Many areas have a shortage of doctors and nurses now, I'm sure Barry and his commie agenda will really help the situation. I think that now even a doctor attempting to retire can be considered an attempt at a boycott. However, the DOJ action can be considered in violation of this: Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

#11 I think any doctor that opts out of any insurance plan and runs a cash only business would save tons of money on paperwork and could offer lower rates. You could even sell "bundles" of office visits at a even lower discount rate.

Until the government forces you to take Bambi-care. In which case it is time to run those fascist bastards out on a rail after a good tar and feathering.

#12 think any doctor that opts out of any insurance plan and runs a cash only business would save tons of money on paperwork and could offer lower rates. My reading of the DOJ action is that opting-out is no longer an option.

#13 Anybody visited a national cemetery today where Union Civil War veterans are buried? Any rumblings there?

#15 This is interesting: out here in WA state, the number of Drs accepting Medicare is shrinking because of the state's reduction in reimbursment rates. Most are keeping their current patients but not accepting new ones, while a few are retiring. Wonder if this has made the DOJ's radar?

#16 The doctors should have joined the SEIU first. Then, all this "collusion" would not only be perfectly acceptable, it would be rewarded.
