If you read nothing else today, be sure you read Carol's post at No Sheeples Here in which she lets loose on Obama for once again slandering physicians; this time in reference to diabetes.He said this in Portsmouth, NH:
“All I'm saying is let's take the example of something like diabetes, one of—a disease that's skyrocketing, partly because of obesity, partly because it's not treated as effectively as it could be. Right now if we paid a family—if a family care physician works with his or her patient to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they're taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance. But if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that's $30,000, $40,000, $50,000—immediately the surgeon is reimbursed. Well, why not make sure that we're also reimbursing the care that prevents the amputation, right? That will save us money.
So changing reimbursement rates will help. The other thing that will really help both nurses and doctors, helping pay for medical education for those who are willing to go into primary care. And that's something that we already started to do under the Recovery Act, and we want to do more of that under health care reform.”
Take this in addition to his slandering ENTs in his ObamaCare infomercial and you've got to wonder why he's got it in for doctors so bad.
Carol has some knowledge in this issue so I'm going to send you over to her place. Check it out.
