This Dr is doing what many in the health profession would like to do. I hope it is the beginning of a trend

Doctor tells Obama supporters: Go elsewhere for health care



MOUNT DORA — A doctor who considers the national health-care overhaul to be bad medicine for the country posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care "elsewhere."

"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."

Estella Chatman, 67, of Eustis, whose daughter snapped a photo of the typewritten sign, sent the picture to U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, the Orlando Democrat who riled Republicans last year when he characterized the GOP's idea of health care as, "If you get sick, America … Die quickly."

Chatman said she heard about the sign from a friend referred to Cassell after his physician recently died. She said her friend did not want to speak to a reporter but was dismayed by Cassell's sign.

"He's going to find another doctor," she said.

Cassell may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida's College of Medicine.

Allen said doctors cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but political preference is not one of the legally protected categories specified in civil-rights law. By insisting he does not quiz his patients about their politics and has not turned away patients based on their vote, the doctor is "trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation," Allen said.

The is Doctor will be savaged, attacked, and smeared in the liberal media - and told how he is a right wing nut who refuses to work for the benefit of the common good, and give handouts to the poor

Look for the union thugs to be holding their Pro Obama signs outside his office - while the liberal media covers the patriotic dissent of the left

Here is Dr Jack Cassell on Fox News explaining his stance

You got that right Princess...Actually, PC seems to be getting less popular all the time.

I hope to see much more of this in the future...Maybe there is hope for America after all.

How many people [that deny practicing PC ] would consider doing something like this?

{By the way, nice legs}

Wait until doctors quit seeing or taking medicare and medicade patients, then all Hell will break lose

Wait until the Doctor shortage hits. Who would want to go inro health care profession when the government will make it unprofitable, and punish you for giving "to much" care to your patients?
