Historical Moment - Doctors and Obama

Cindy and I stayed up watching the polls and watching Obama sweep over the states with electoral votes by 10:14pm central time. When I got back from my 3 mile jog at 7:15pm, my parents were pretty confident that McCain was going to win. I told them that it's way too early and you just have to wait it out with the states that matter. I was thoroughly impressed with Obama's Campaign and I had a gut feeling that all the grass roots promotions and campaigning would pull a major victory. You could see and hear Obama's positive campaign everywhere! The Radio Stations, TV, Oprah, Hip Hop Artists and rappers, the streets signs, stickers on cars, in front of houses, Athletes on ESPN, etc. His campaign hit the markets that mattered the most. The younger generation and the middle class that see and hear these means of advertisement every day of their lives. That's the impact that grass roots promotions can have on anyone's event. 

I voted for Obama despite being a "Doctor". There are some issues that Doctors may have with President-Elect Obama and/or Democratic party. Most doctors may have issues with being taxed more because of income, or not being able to own their own hospitals. I can understand those fears, but are you really going to worry about surviving and taking care of your family? I truly believe that doctors should not worry about being taxed more or should not worried about being regulated. They should worry about the middle class people not having money or insurance to come see them. Medical Doctors may not see much decline in patients, but maybe Dentists, Optometrists, Chiropractors, etc may see a decline of economic growth in their part of the field if the middle class are losing jobs and putting their money elsewhere. People will go see a doctor if they are really sick. They may not if they have a cavity or need a new prescription. They can always get by. Doctors should be happy that Obama is pushing for health  insurances for all people and allowing them to make their choices. This really determines how good of a doctor you may be. I'm not saying Obama's way may be the right way compared to McCain's, but I'm saying it was the better choice for America as a whole right now and the next 4 years.
