INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Gaston Memorial Hospital in North Carolina has Reportedly Lost 20 Doctors in Recent Months

Patients are already feeling the impact of Obamacare. Suddenly there are very few physicians with private practice. They have been bought up by hospital conglomerates as the result of the necessity to have access to hospitals for their patients, to benefit from group insurance rates and other reasons.

Hospitals are now reportedly receiving financial incentives from the government for reducing the cost of treating Medicare patients. This creates a barrier between the patient and the physician who can no longer treat the patient to the best of his ability, but must follow guidelines required by the government and imposed on the physician by the hospital system.

Physicians and surgeons in some medical groups can no longer be honest with their patients and remain in compliance with hospital and medical group rules. Physicians are spending much of their time entering data into computers to comply with regulations imposed by the government and enforced by hospital systems.

Gaston Memorial Hospital, which is administered by Caromont Health in Gastonia, North Carolina, has reportedly had 20 of their “brightest” physicians, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and radiologists leave  their jobs. Some were apparently forced out and others quit.

In a letter to the hospital administrator, one of the physicians, according to Freedom Outpost.Com said: “The question I have is, is this related to Obamacare implementation? And if it is, is there a design to limit health care in doing it?”

He described a meeting in which, “We all saw docs baring their souls, some crying, and some shaking with quivering voices.  Some of them were scared into silence and just watched, too intimidated to speak... There is a serious problem here.”

Individuals familiar with Obamacare who speak the truth indicate that most American physicians and surgeons will retire from the system as they become salaried employees. They will be replaced with people from third world countries who are happy to work for a salary and meet the minimum standards required by the government.
