Negative Effects Of Obama Care

“What’s most telling is that some of the people who are most supportive of reform are the very medical professionals who know the health care system best.” –Barack Obama October 5, 2009. As President Barack Obama said those few lines, therewere a few selected people in white coats supporting Obama at the Rose Garden. The doctor’s that attended and reinforced his idea in legitimizing ObamaCare were staged. Physicians, who have knowledge about the American health care functions, understand how ObamaCare would have a negative impact. With ObamaCare continuing to be implemented, it will only affect our future. Insurance prices will continue to increase and access to actual care will decline. Hospitals and other health care providers will remain

Obama Care is the unofficial name for The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which was signed into law on March 23, 2010.

ObamaCare will also contribute the future shortage of physicians by the year 2020 it is anticipated to believe that we will face a shortage of 91,500 doctors. ObamaCare is a contributing factor to doctors who are looking to retire within the next five years. If this were to happen, it will toughen the already existing doctor shortage. Most importantly by taking on Obamas health care reform will we be abolishing the doctor-patient relationship. The massive amount of patients that will be seen by a doctor will cut the time spent with each patient.
