Daily Caller: 83 Percent Propaganda

Posted on by

From the Daily Caller:

Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.

The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme Court.

From SourceWatch:

The Doctor Patient Medical Association (DPMA) and the Patient Power Alliance (PPA) work to repeal health care reform and call themselves a “a nonpartisan association of doctors and patients dedicated to preserving free choice in medicine.” The organization is a member of the National Tea Party Federation and the “American Grassroots Coalition.”

  1. I refuse to click on DC. It only encourages them.

    ‘“…a nonpartisan association of doctors and patients dedicated to preserving free choice in medicine. The organization is a member of the National Tea Party Federation and the “American Grassroots Coalition.”’

    “Nonpartisan?”
    Associated with National Tea Party Federation and the American Grassroots Coalition – and it’s “nonpartisan.”

    WOW!
    Whodathunk it: NONPARTISAN!
    Nope, not a trace of partisanship. Why would anyone ask?

    And, of course, the MSM will dutifully report these doctors as nonpartisan.
    And people will think, “Whoa – 83%?”

    And not one of these doctors will ever actually quit, of course – they ain’t stupid – they’re “nonpartisan.”
    They are Conservatives who like the status quo, and want Obama and the Democrats to lose – so they’ll say anything to help make that happen.
    And this 83% is a number – so it’s a stat – and the MSM always looks for stats to back-up Conservative bullsh*t. They loves them some o’ them Conservative stats!
    Democratic ones? Eh, not so much. To many numbers, too many explanations for them.
    But 83% of doctors surveyed? That’s nice and simple.

    I wonder if, in another survey, these same doctors would recommend leeches for bleeding amemic patients – or those suffering gaping wounds from chainsaw accidents?

  2. Actually, we have Republican doctors here in PA who are behind a movement for single payer. I pegged the Daily Caller the moment I took a look at their page. I refuse to pass on their trash.

  3. My sainted professor of statistiscs at UNC-G, Dr. Rita O’Sullivan, taught us that the first question to ask about any study is , “Where’d they get those folks?” Once again she is proved right!

  4. Why would doctors be against something that will give them 50 million new customers who they know will pay their bills, and still no cost controls of any sort? Come on Freemarketeers, this doesn’t make much sense. Why do you think the AMA and insurance companies support Obamacare/ACA??

  5. Not only is the source not “non-partisan”, the claim is truthy. What does “have considered” mean? Thought about it, but decided that it would be stupid once they got the facts?

    I considered having toast for breakfast. But I had eggs instead. So, what?

  6. We seriously need a “like” button here. Biggerbox – like like; buckyblue – like; bill b and lynne – like and of course, see you in dee – like

  8. So 83% of physicians will leave their practice to do WHAT?, be a Wal-Mart greeter?
    How can people be dumb enough to believe that line?
    Never mind, it’s the FOX school of dumbed-down “clowns”.
