PA Family Doctor Faces Huge Obamacare Fines, Despite Attempts to Comply
27th June 2014
Obamacare requires all doctors to keep electronic medical records. For every year a physician fails to keep their records electronically, they are fined. Outside companies typically charge doctors around $50,000 to provide this electronic filing service.
Brescia tried to comply with this mandate, but then the company he had hired to keep his records went bankrupt. Now the government Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is charging him $18,000 for failure to comply.
People have been talking about how Obamacare hurts patients, but not enough attention has been paid to how it hurts health care providers.
“I think the Affordable Care Act is really going to eliminate small practices,” Brescia told his local news station. “You’re going to have to join an organization.”
And that’s one of its objectives. Democrats don’t like small businesses. They want big businesses that are easier to regulate and easier to squeeze for donations.

Any doctor who voted for Obama should have any Obamacare fines doubled.
