I can't help but feel that the doctors who participated in this propaganda are traitors.

Theater.
This is how Obama argues his case.
Small wonder his applause is dying.
Traitors, buffoons... Sometimes not a lot of difference.
They've certainly forgotten the "do no harm" part.
Traitors to whom? the oath they took as doctors or to something they believe in or to the insurance industry?
theatre? yes. So too the front guys who talk in con gress and elsewhere about Obama wanting to kill the elderly etc.
name calling is hardly rational arguement...my doctor is a great and gifted man and I feel insulted when you refer to him as a buffon! He has done more good things in my community than most folks and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for calling such men buffons because they differ from your views and know the field they are talking about when you do not.
Sure you can.
Or are you not in control of your thoughts?
I saw a report on Fox News - America's Newsroom - this morning that many of the doctors didn't even know why they were invited. They came, thinking they would be able to ask the President questions and voice their opinions. They were not. The ones who dared to show up witout a white coat were given one to wear. According to the report, they weren't allowed to ask questions or voice opinions. They were invited by a pro-Obamacare group called Doctors for America. I would bet that many, if not most, of these doctors were not for Obamacare.
After Obama said all those awful things about doctors hacking off limbs and removing tonsils just to make a buck - basically blaming them for rising costs of health insurance - it's a wonder any of them showed up.
No wonder most doctors have a God complex with people like Fred wandering around.
Uh, fred, I didn't know your doctor was in the group of Obama dupes. Apologies.
Young men planning on marrying should sit in the back of family court for a few days first, and dolts who worship doctors should get a taste of what a lot of them are really about by watching some malpractice trials.
My father was a doctor and he would have been horrified. But what I find interesting about the white lab coats is that back in the old days, the MDs who favored socialized medicine tended to be salaried research types, often motivated by jealousy over the fact that their fellow MDs in private practice made more $$$.
So naturally I find myself wondering something....
How many of those doctors are actually engaged in private practice?
Aside from the fact that these doctors were useful idiots, the photo op gaffe is yet another example of the "smart" diplomacy of the Obama administration.
We let them anywhere near the Iran talks and they will start WW3.

i agree with tether.
we need a real time education in many areas of our lives. family court hearings and malpractice trails would be a good place to start.
also learning the truth about car sales, real estate and investments and sharp retail practices such as core price manipulation in big-box retail.
interstingly enough, the federal government has made some sort of a stand about celebrity endorsements.
apparently brittny will have to prove she uses pro-activ skin products.
i`m not sure if she`ll even remember doing the commercials.
anfd i also agre with parts of fred`s comment.
his doctor is one who does good work.
we were refering to the doctors who showed up on the whitehouse lawn for a photo-op.
buffons.
thier practice couldn`t have been that impmortant that day. much better to go meet the president.
dum-dee-dum.
and i don`t know any doctor, other than one working i emerg., that wears a labcoat anymore.
or appearing on t.v. of course.
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to be agreeing with Tether.
People who allow governmental regulation and licensing to replace common sense and experience when choosing any professional deserve what they get, good and hard. Professional regulation is a fund raising tool of government, that's all. And a license to practice is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Sort of like the UAW or SEIU for professionals. Legislated mediocrity. And don't get me started on attorney advertising, bitch.
Frauds for sure.
One wonders how they can do that and still say they are oath-defending doctors.
I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
A rather bizarre and adolescent attempt by the Obama administration. I swear my 13 year old daughter and her friends who got a gold medal from the FCCLA for promoting conservation could do a better job. But, she wouldn't, even after watching his speech to school kids she doesn't like him. (I wonder if her black friends know how racist she is.)
I'm becoming amazed at the immaturity of Obama and his cohorts. His and Michele's speeches at to the IOC sounded like they were meant for kids. They are all words and no substance, as we are all seeing more and more except for fred who's blind to reality.
I saw my doctor today. He didn't have a coat on at all. But, his shirt was white. (His nurse is getting older but she's still hot.)
Here's a good example of type of doctors Tether refers to. Twin pediatricians with 20 years experience molesting young boys.

The only time I see doctors with white coats on is at the teaching hospitals where the students wear white coats for identification.
Many of the doctors whar surgical scrubs.
How do we know they were real doctors? Seriously. How do we really know there were doctors from every state?
And as has been brought up all over the place today, the Obamonauts certainly had enough white lab jackets to go around in case some forgot theirs, as was the case. What a co-inky dinky.
Remember the pro Obama fake doctor asking questions at the town hall meeting?
Just because someone is a brilliant brain surgeon, it does not follow that he has a clue about economics. It really does not. Most do, but some do not. So there will be a few Obots even among the MDs because they are simply blind to everything except what they know very, very well.
Unfortunately, politics has become a completely irrational thing in America today. Particularly for the Left, it has become about winning and achieving power by any means because, in their eyes, the ends justify any means, Utopia is just over the horizon. All they need is that last final push to get there.
winning and achieving power
This is the end for the left. Everything else is just a Potemkin facade. Some people like money, some like power.
Or simply quotas, like the chief himself. They know where their bread is buttered. Besides, their incompetence will be dissolved in government care, not their licenses in private care.
Strangely enough my doctor does wear a white coat. He also bowed out of insurance and is basically just cash. He's one of the best internal medicine doctors in the city and spends about an hour on each one of my patient visits asking how I'm doing. No doubt Obama would hate my doctor.

Vicki, what does an office visit cost? I am wondering, because my copay and insurance costs are high, and I am lucky to get 10 minutes with my doctor in an office visit. That's why it took ten years to figure out I have acromegaly. Your doctor, with an hour to poke around per visit, probably would have figured it out in record time. I had demanded an x-ray finally getting it after almost three months (my doctor felt it was unnecessary. I knew something was wrong. They found lung cancer with the x-ray and removed my right lung. So, hell, I'd rather pay full price for a doctor visit, and use insurance for the big stuff.
I had heard that some of the docs had no idea what was about to happen. The post said that they thought they were there for a meet and greet and share ideas sort of thing only to be whored out.
Anyone else read that?
Trey
Trey: Yes, Several reports said or suggested that some of them thought it was to be an open forum and intended to speak against it.
Would have been one of the blogs, here? Ace? Flopping Aces? I don't remember where.
