Poll: New York doctors hate ObamaCare

It’s not just patients who hate Obamacare. A poll of 409 New York physicians in the New York State Medical Society found a lot of doctors are afraid to participate, because they don’t know what they’re going to get paid.

• 44% of those surveyed said they have no intention of participating in the nation’s new health-care plan.
• 33% said they are not sure whether or not they will become ObamaCare providers.
• 23% are taking patients who signed up through health exchanges. Of these,
  • 75% said they were forced to because of existing contractual obligations with an insurer or medical provider;
  • 25% (about 23 actual doctors) “affirmatively” chose to sign up for the exchanges.

77% of those surveyed said they have not received an Obamacare fee schedule.

Comments volunteered by doctors surveyed:

• Obama Care wants to start right away, but who see all these new patients???? Not me.
• I plan to retire if this disaster is implemented. This is a train wreck.
• I refuse to participate in the exchange plans! I am completely opposed to this new law.
• The solution is simple: Just say no.
• I am seriously considering opting out of all insurance plans including Medicare.
• OBAMACARE is a disaster. I have already seen denial of medication, denial of referrals.
• Any doctor who accepts the exchange is just a bad businessman/woman. Pay is terrible.
• Can’t imagine any doctors would be willing to work for so little money? All doctors should boycott.
• I get screwed from insurance companies already. I refuse to get screwed any longer.
• This is a joke. We are flying blind.
