As someone in the medical field, AOIIAngel (or anyone else) how do you see a government funded health care system affecting your field? Talking with my OB/GYN the other day, that was his biggest reason for NOT supporting Obama. I would hope that nobody chose one or the other based on taxes, I don't think ANYONE wants to pay more! LOL!

I know that there is like Medicaid and CHIP, but from what I understand you have to have a certain income level. If you go above that, then you become ineligible.
ETA: That has happened to my aunt before. My uncle is the sole provider for the family (2 adults and 3 kids, one being disabled), and he works for Denny's. My aunt tried to go back to work---for Walmart, and she was told that they couldn't be on the health care plan anymore because now they made too much money. So she stopped working so that the kids could stay on Medicaid/Medicare (whichever one is for the kids). Disability also is reduced for her youngest (who's legally deaf) when my uncle gets a higher paycheck than he should (like if he works overtime).
