Obamacare in Action? Private Practice Shuts Down Citing ‘New Regulations’
18th April 2012
Boiling Springs Family Medicine wrote to their patients that, presumably because of the regulations they would have to comply with under Obamacare, they would “no longer be able to provide you with medical care,” and “it is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you” of the closing.
The private practice wrote that “the challenges of practicing primary care medicine independently in today’s world and economy are too great” and “new guidelines and regulations have made the practice of medicine as we know it impossible as independent practitioners.”
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Of course, liberals who espoused Obamacare had to know that private practices such as Boiling Springs Family Medicine would close, forcing more citizens to be dependent on government for their health care.
Your tax dollars at work.

“Had to know”? It was the point.

Nobody on the right shed a single tear when the mom-and-pop grocery was destroyed by mega-monster-box stores and ‘wholesale’ warehouses, so why all the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth with the closing of mom-and-pop medical practices? They can always join a group practice, and the public will enjoy economies of scale.
What’s sauce for the goose, and all that.
