Arizona Doctor Says Obamacare Will Force Him to Close

An Arizona doctor posted a sign saying that he will close his doors before Obamacare goes into effect. The notice of potential closure sign has an addendum that says if the bill is repealed legislatively or judicially his doors will remain open. While this doctor may be saying it most publicly, I doubt he is even close to alone.

"While it may be years before most Americans feel the impact of President Obama’s health-care bill, a few patients in Scottsdale, Ariz., got a small taste of life under Obamacare last week when they arrived at their Dermatologist’s office only to see a sign with the following taped to the front door:

“If you voted for Obamacare, be aware these doors will close before it goes into effect.” The note is signed Joseph M. Scherzer M.D. and includes the following addendum: “****Unless Congress or the Courts repeal the BILL.”

Scherzer, who attended Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, has been a practicing Dermatologist in Scottsdale, Ariz., since 1976. Reached yesterday at his office, Dr. Scherzer, 63, said he plans to stop practicing before 2014 when the bill’s full impact will be felt because he refuses to deal with the headache of increased government involvement in health care."
