30% Of Docs To Quit If Deem Health Plan Passes

A survey by the Medicus Firm shows that almost 30 percent of doctors will either quit practicing medicine or retire early if the Nancy Pelosi’s Deemocrats pass the embattled ObamaCare socialized medicine plan. The breakdown is 7.4 percent quitting and 21.8 percent retiring early.

If the public option plan desired by many members of the party were part of the package the percentage abandoning their practice would be 45.7 percent.

The Medicus Firm is a national physician search firm based in Atlanta and Dallas.

Toomey, a businessman who represented the Democrat-leaning 15th District in Congress from 1999 to 2005, is being challenged by activist Peg Luksik in the primary.
