Where is the Underground Railroad for Doctors?

Dr. Cassell deserves high praise as he upholds his first amendment right by placing a slogan: "If you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere" on the window of his office doorway. While Dr. Cassell clearly noted that he still would treat all customers, he finds, as he should, that he still deserves the right to formulate his own opinion and deter patients that idolize a philosophy that subjects his profession to the whims of Washington. As expected, outrage poured in from the district representative, Alan Grayson-D, as he commented: “I think it’s disgusting...I know that most people go into health care because they want to help sick people. They don’t have some political agenda. I think it’s outrageous that someone would try to press his political agenda.”He added, “I think the sore losers are out in force.”
Translation: "All doctors need to shut-up and get to work...I will formulate your opinion for you!" 

I beg to differ Mr. Grayson, but doctors are not puppets to society. They offer a trade. Their trade is to fix people. Are they to do this without compensation? Are they to not even express a complaint in the matter? Let me ask Mr. Grayson, "Is a mechanic to fix a car for every person that comes to him because he went into the profession to fix cars? Is this same mechanic to not raise any objection if politicians demand that all people need functional cars, even if they can't afford it?" The answer is absolutely not. Yet, the scum politicians like Mr. Grayson demand doctors to work on every patient that comes to them. They do not think that doctors offer a trade, but are mere servants to public demand. What's even worse, doctors are not even able to raise any complaints. Under their rationale, Washington will take care of it.

Good for you Dr. Cassell. I hope more doctors follow suit.

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.
