His private practice; his right to choose who he wants as patients, for the mean time. The beauty of owning one's own business.
I'm surprised it took 10 posts before this was mentioned.
His business and he can do what he wants. He's taking a stand.
He may lose patients and is willing to do so on principal.
No, the height of hypocrisy is the NeoConfused getting all warm & fuzzy talking about building Iraq while running in terror screaming SOCIALISM! at the mere mention of doing anything to build America
But BRAVO to the Doc, if he puts politics ahead of medicine he's probably a quack hack in the first place, nice that he's identified himself
Amen. I wish more of them come out of the closet so I can take my business to doctors who care about practicing medicine over running politics.

Wouldn't it have been nice if Obama had cared more about doctors practicing medicine than he did about playing politics with the citizen's confidential relationship with his/her medical doctor!

Quote:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery. I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
He owns the practice and has the RIGHT to refuse treatment to a person, a group or anyone he sees fit. After all it is not an emergency it would be an office visit.
I private owned corner store has the right to refuse you buying something so why shouldn't he have the same right?
Since it is in his office he can flat out refuse those who are trying to rip him off.
Only one little problem: "I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know."
Obamacare eliminates that patient privacy and neither the physician nor the patient have any say in the matter. Our medical records become an open book for any government employee or bureaucracy the HHS Secretary deems appropriate.
Quite possibly this doctor has an objection with Obama and the HHS coming between himself and his patient when it comes not only to treatment options but also the right to privacy.

Yes it would.
Now that we know Obama wants to snoop into your personal business by making all medical records accessible to the government.
Watch the scumbag go after any Doctor who is against his scam bill.
Just like the fake Doctors with the white lab coats in his photo ops, he expects the docs to be his puppets.

Yet another right of American citizens taken away from Adolf Obama.
