Monday, August 9. 2010California health care workers protest new legislation
Healthcare reform hasn't won over some doctors and health care professionals in San Diego. This past weekend, hundreds of health care workers converged on Harbor Island for "The National Doctor's Tea Party" to protest "ObamaCare," reports ABC affiliate KGTV.
Those who are against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act believe that patients will ultimately suffer because of the law. Under healthcare reform, all Americans will be required to have health insurance begging in 2014. Protester Dr. Adam Dorin told KGTV that he believes "ObamaCare" will prevent him from providing care to his patients. "Quality is going to go down; it's going to get more difficult," Dorin told the news station. "We're going to have more people in the system with quality of care probably not what it is today." The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, an organization that promotes the tea parties, say that requiring people to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional. The organization asserts that the new regulations will place them under tighter oversight by insurance companies and stifle innovation by doctors.
