发帖数: 29846 | 1 Democrats Attack Female Doctor for Daring to Question ObamaCare
by Jammie
We’re rapidly approaching the point where even questioning Obama will be
deemed a criminal act.
A feisty Upper East Side ophthalmologist didn’t take any guff from
lawmakers Thursday when she gave congressional testimony about the ill
effects of ObamaCare.
Dr. Patricia McLaughlin, whose ObamaCare woes were first highlighted in
The Post, gave a House committee a simple prescription for the defective
health care law: “Fix it!”
But Democratic lawmakers pounced on her for relating how she got hit
with an ObamaCare “double whammy.”
McLaughlin told the House Oversight Committee, which invited her to
testify after reading The Post article, how she had lost the group health
plan for her four-person office.
Then, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield dropped her from its provider
network, forcing her patients using that insurance to go elsewhere or pay
out of pocket, she said.
Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) questioned whether McLaughlin was dumped
from the network because her “credentials” weren’t as good as other
doctors’.
Can you imagine the caterwauling from the left if a Republicans even hinted
that a woman wasn’t as competent a physician as men? Jesus, we’d never
hear the end of it.
After the hearing, she said the Democrats were “a little harder on me
than the others [testifying].”
She balked at Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.) calling the hearing a “pony
show.”
“That really hurt me to the core,” she said. “Because I certainly was
not here to put on any show . . . This was a nonpartisan
participation on my part.”
There’s no longer any sense of decency and honor with Democrats. It’s all
about serving their master in the White House. By the way, McLaughlin’s
patients apparently don’t question her abilities.
