Purported doctor on Texas A&M message board claims he ‘laid off my first Obama voting employee.’

By Faiz Shakir

Posting on a message board for Texas A&M students and alumni, a user named “dermdoc” wrote last week that he “laid off my first Obama voting employee today.” “Our reimbursement rates are spiraling downward, taxes are projected to go up with Obamacare, so I did it,” the poster wrote, adding: “I made this decision because I can.” CBSNews.com’s Brian Montopoli reports that he tried to contact “the person who we believe to have been responsible for the posting, but our requests for comment went unanswered.” “It is kind of interesting watching their face as you explain to them the economic consequences of the policies of the guy they voted for,” wrote dermdoc. “That is the way business works,” he added. “If that makes me an ahole, so be it.” Here’s a screenshot of one of dermdoc’s messages:

These purported concerns over burdensome costs on physicians is pure fear-mongering. The new health law actually “includes an increase in Medicaid payment rates,” which is “expected to be pretty helpful” for most doctors. That is one of the reasons why the American Medical Association endorsed the Affordable Care Act. The American College of Physicians called the law “an extraordinary achievement" M.C.L Comment: And conservatives wonder why I hate them it's crap like this, if someone did that to Bush supporters or conservative activist Rush, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly and their clones would be screaming bloody murder for weeks. Since it's President Obama and people that have the nerve to express their constitutional right to vote for him it's ok to be small and petty. Republicans have shown if they win they like to tell liberals and Democrats to get over it, when they lose they want to undo the whole process until the outcome is in their favor.
