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.
Doesn't matter if it's his business. I guarantee you he's setting himself up for a human rights lawsuit.

This is akin to a doctor saying, "I'm not going to treat you because you stink". That's fine...and sure, he can choose to do that, but he'd better prepare himself for the legal action. Not to mention the bad press which in of itself might be bad enough to put the guy out of business.

I've seen it all now. I guess he's protected by the first amendment freedom of speech. I wonder how the medical board will handle this situation. His wife is a lawyer so I assume he consulted with her before posting this sign.

Yes it does.

Right now, physicians who own their own practices don't have to take any form of insurance...private or tax dollar backed.

One nice thing, I haven't seen any Ds hate the Rs so much as to pull this stunt, especially after a "first of all, do no harm" oath is taken.

If an Obama supporter would die from severe trauma and the only medical person around was this doctor, do you really think they'd let that person die?

You're so funny, Adolf Obama. Hahaha, that's a real knee slapper.

Please provide a list of these rights that the American citizen has lost.
You can start with Bush's Patriot Act, if you choose.

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.

Can you please provide a link to this startling information that:

I'm sure you read it somewhere, but I'd appreciate a link to confirm your assertion, please.

Just because you are unaware of people not contributing to the benefit of collectivists does not mean that it doesn't occur. I personally avoid doing anything that would benefit known collectivists in any way whatsoever. I have no responsibility to help my enemy.

It is not my problem if you choose not to read the new law. Look it up for yourself. It is there.

I notice you only challenge me and not the poster who states everything stays the same. Why is that? Blinded by your bias perhaps?
