Medical secret police calling doctors

The federal government is conducting a stealth survey, calling up doctors and lying to them, seeking a way to catch doctors turning down Medicare and Medicaid patients, now that ObamaCare will be vastly expanding the number of people seeking treatment but paying with government programs that pay substantially less than private insurance. But don't worry, the new secret police promise that they will keep the data produced by their deceptive tactics confidential.

How many government shotguns did this agency receive in stimulus funds?
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

This is what we have tried in vain to explain to the "health care is a right" morons. If it's a right, then the provider no longer owns his time and talents, he is effectively an indentured servant who has no control over his remuneration. They try to get around this by saying "no, we mean that the government will pay. 'Slaves'? That's ridiculous -- doctors will still be paid for their services." But as we can see in this article, in government programs the compensation is set by the government and is usually significantly less. As expected, they're already laying the groundwork to make it mandatory for doctors to participate in these programs. They're starting by collecting data on the ones who will require re-education first.

If you've got any medical issues or things you've been putting off, now is the time to get it done.

I'm healthy.

But I would like to give some other people good reason to seek treatment!

Didn't we mention this somewhere, might be a duplicate post but not sure where.  If it is a duplicate we can merge/delete.

This Regime is just way out of control!  Is there anything called oversight anymore?  Does anybody care what the heck is going on?

Well, there hasn't been any oversight until this year. And, what with the backlog of things to look at since 2009, the oversight committees are a bit overwhelmed, I imagine.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.
