If the Health Care Law is struck down by the Supreme Court tomorrow, will Witch Doctors become more popular?

You can see a Witch Doctor without an appointment or medical insurance, however you have to sign a waiver so that you cannot sue them for malpractice.

All I care about is that it will be one more nail in Oblabma's coffin.

Witch Doctors are a better alternative to some of the MDs out there.

Beats the cat scans we'd get from Garfield.

You see that magic answer? They don't care about anything but Obama being gone. Law be damned. Just get him out. This is what America is subjected to in 2012.

Hopefully they will actually try and DO something about rising health care costs if it is struck down.

The Obama plan was shoved down peoples throats, forced into it. What was needed was reform, not an overturning of the health care system in the USA. This reform has ALREADY caused a rise in insurance cost of those that pay for it by triple.

Arguably one of the best systems in the world has been turned upside down. What really needed to be done was to limit frivolous law suits that have been destroying the system, but that was dropped.

Why? Because lawyers and politicians are in bed together , much like unions are with Democrats.

Paying for those without insurance could be done easily without destroying the whole system, since it is actually a very small number of people.

Existing conditions could be handled differently as well, by gov. subsidizing these individuals.

Neither of these warranted completely revamping the whole system.

Only if the Witch Doctors unionize. I'll bet Andy Stern would let them into SEIU

I don't know about Witch Doctors, but if it is not, more traditional doctors will continue to take early retirement and change careers, and more college students will opt out of pre-med.

@summertime - Magic answer? No. However, there were more than a dozen viable proposals set forth by the Republicans in 2010 when the healthcare law was being debated, including limits on non-medical tort awards (punitive damages), tax incentives for individuals, rather than corporations, for the purchase of healthcare insurance, expansion of competition among health insurers enabling consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines, broader implementation of employer-sponsored, tax advantaged health-savings accounts to cover day-to-day medical expenses like checkups, mammograms, PAP smears, colonoscopy, and minor injuries and allow relatively healthy people to cover only catastrophic care, true Medicare and Medicaid reform to eliminate waste and fraud, and a revision of the tax code to make INDIVIDUALS responsible for their own health care costs, and to take the burden of the uninsured off the backs of the hospitals. All of these are viable options, each one individually and in combination can go very far in reducing the cost of healthcare in this country - and NONE of them is a sweeping overhaul of a system which, outside of the cost of delivery, is the best in the world. It makes no sense to not try conservative (as in "less radical", not "right wing") measures before scrapping everything.

When Republicans are told to "shut up, we're in charge now", and that they are "welcome to come for the ride, but they must sit in the back", it's no wonder they want him out at all costs. They were not elected to sit and watch, they were elected to legislate.

doesn't matter come nov it won't mean a thing..

@ summer...your right law be damned, obama has made a career of enforcing which laws he wants to, just look at the immigration law as an excellent example.....so when Romney wins in nov. he doesn't have to enforce the obama care law.....

[delton]

This isn't funny. This is a serious problem that could get worse!
