Who Can Serve Two Masters?

For those of you familiar with the Bible, it states clearly that "no man can serve two masters." But the new health care law forces care-givers to try and do just that. On the one hand, they are supposed to be serving you, the patient, and working in your best inteest. But the health care bill, now law, places the government in the mix to a great extent, particularly with Medicare and Medicaid. They place many regulations, restrictions and red tape on the care-givers, which puts them in the position of serving two masters.

And because of that, neither will be served well.

This is why a poll, run by and published by the New England Journal of Medicine indictates as many as 46.3% of all doctors may either quit the profession, or retire early. And with 32,000,000 more people covered, how will any of us get care - there are not enough doctors as it is?

Now, the Mayo Clinic in Arizona is refusing Medicare patients because it is a "loss leader" they cannot afford. And Walgreens in Washington State no longer accepts Medicare - same reason.

So, what's next? Will our Congress, in their arrogance, pass more unconstitutional laws FORCING doctors, hospitals and pharmacies to accept Medicare? Will America really become a tyrannical state like the USSR was?

If the liberals have their way, yes.
