Thanks for wasting the 2 1/2 minutes it took me to read a pointless article. I'll summarize. The author, a liberal med school prof, talked to a few people on his trip. Almost all were understandably pissed off that their insurance had gone up to pay for illegals and deadbeats. The doc, like Obama, was disappointed at just how awful and ungrateful the people are.
His idea is that docs should spend more time explaining Obamacare to their patients. That advice alone shows how out of touch he is. Most docs struggle to find time to do a competent exam of their patients. Reimbursement rates are so low for many types of practice, their only hope of making the income of a first year lawyer is to cram as many patients as possible through each day. They don't have time to tutor people on insurance or get into political discussions.
