I wouldn't have any problem with this, if it meant I would have the Drs. attention for more than 5 minutes, and not have to wait in the waiting room for 30 minutes and then in the examining room for another 30 minutes before the Dr. even comes in.

I read an article just recently about Drs. in financial problems -- turns out that being a good Dr. does not mean you are a good financial manager. A lot of them spend much more than they take in, and they don't know how to manage what is essentially a small business.

I've heard it said that you better have a Dr. when you go under Medicare, because once you do, you'll have problems finding one. In October, we submitted a separate claim to our insurance company for something that is supposed to be covered. We are still waiting and every time I check on it, they tell me that it is still in process. If Drs. office's are having to wait as long as this for their payments, it's amazing to me that any of them take insurance at all.

Considering that the majority of provisions of Obamacare will not take effect until 2014, I don't think you can blame Obama care for this.
