Breitbart -- A Kentucky M.D. named Stephen Kiteck is shutting down his medical practice and citing Obamacare as the reason.
Dr. Kiteck published an ad in the local paper saying his office will close Dec. 31, 2013 because of Obamacare. He invites his patients to drop by prior to that date to pick up their charts.
The notice closes with this message, "Dr. Kiteck wishes to thank all his patients that have visited his office over the past 20 years, and apologizes for this inconvenience."
Dr. Kiteck's office confirmed that he is indeed closing his practice and that he did publish the notice in the paper. Asked if he would agree to an interview, his receptionist indicated that he'd received many calls from the media but was not prepared to make any additional statement at this time.
There have been surveys which suggested a significant number of doctors might quit or retire early as a result of the new health law. A 2013 Deloitte Survey of U.S. Physicians found that 62 percent of doctors expected some of their colleagues to retire early.
Dr. Kiteck is a 64 year old board certified family physician with a good rating for patient satisfaction on healthgrades.com.
Blog author's comments - This is just the beginning, there will be many more doctors especially those in their later years of practice who will retire because they will not want to deal with the government rules and regulations of Obamacare. I do not doubt that Dr. Stephen Kiteck will soon be audited by the IRS.
There are already some doctors and hospitals who are saying they will not accept Obamacare patients. Obama and his fellow Democrats own this law, not one Republican voted for it. The ACA is so bad that it just may self destruct before the 2016 election.
What will surprise me is -- if this law does not push the voters including the low-information people to the polls to vote for the GOP in 2014 -- I have no idea what it will take to oust many of the Senate Democrats who are up for reelection and also retain the House for the Republican Party. As many of us know Obamacare is a complete disaster but Obama does not seem to care.
It appears as if once he and the Democrats passed the ACA law which he believes will be his legacy, he turned his back on the consequences it is having and will continue to have on the American people, our healthcare system and the economy. He has said that as long as he is the president the law will never be repealed. The liberal media along with his administration and base of leftist followers continue to cover for him as always.
This is all about government control with Obama. Amnesty for the illegals will be next and the Republican Party seems to also be pushing their own amnesty bill.
