Congratulations to Obama and the medical community. I feel that we as Physicians now have a chance to regain a sense of dignity. Our profession has been destroyed by free market insurance. Hopefully Obama will have the leadership to not only offer Americans Insurance that actually pays for health care rather than CEO pay and high rises but can also offer physicians respectable reimbursements. The day of the Medical sales rep making as much money as the National average salary of a Family Physician ($125,000) needs to end.
As a side note, I wish CNN commentators would stop making reference to Barack Obama as the "first black president". America did not elect President Obama because he was going to be the first black presidient but rather we voted for him because he has promise to be on of the greatest National and International leaders of our time..
