"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it." Maybe the title of this thread is a weeeeeee bit inaccurate.
if u were black and jim crow ceased according to the civil rights bill- would u venture into a white owned establishment south of the mason dixon line by yourself? probably not and thats how a democrat would feel seeking medical help from this douche.
Jim Crow didn't cease according to the civil rights bill. Whichever one you're talking about to change the subject.
if i had coffee shop and i had sign outside of it that read, "if u are asian, go elsewhere for a coffee" but in a subsequent interview with a newspaper columnist- i said that i would serve asians but i wouldnt be happy about it- wouldnt that make me dr. cassell?
There's nothing that physically identifies a liberal, other than the pointy head. And your own article says he doesn't ask people if they voted for Obama. "Cassell, who has practiced medicine in GOP-dominated Lake County since 1988, said he doesn't quiz his patients about their politics, but he also won't hide his disdain for the bill Obama signed and the lawmakers who passed it." Your analogies are weak.
It's completely accurate. The "doctor" lies when he says that. His sign clearly says "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE IF YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA!" I assume he'll be explaining himself soon to the State Medical Board.
Doctors' offices and pharmacies have all kinds of signs that are similar. Like "we don't accept medicare" He has nothing to fear.
I'm more dismayed that someone compared this to declining people based on race and lying in the thread title than this doctor's sign, TBQH.
I can't believe people are playing the race card on this. It has nothing to do with race. I saw the guy interviewed on Anderson Cooper and he was a tool. Didn't have sound arguments at all. At least stand up for what you believe in. He flip flopped a lot. I would have respected the guy more if he had just come out and said, "I don't like the people who are running our country. If you voted for them, I would prefer not to provide you with medical care." I'm not saying he's right, but I hate when people do something and then don't own up to it.
alright lets take this path, ill continue it- if the sign read, "if your a jew, take your business elsewhere" - wouldnt that make me dr. cassell?
The lefties here play the race card as they have no other alternative as they know they are wrong. One of those "last gasp" things. But getting back to the sign, it's pretty immature & stupid IMHO. You're a doctor and not a politician. To suggest people go elsewhere just because they may support Obamacare is childish at best. And he may very well get a call from the state medical board. I know he would in Oregon. I deal with those folks every day.
I saw a bit about him on the local news here, and he said he was upset that this new health care plan will end up rationing care at the end of peoples' lives (e.g. elderly). I think he has a point, the legislation is targeted at his livelihood and expertise, and he has a right of free speech. From all I've seen and read about him, he had three potential patients walk out of his office - perhaps a case he's losing customers, but perhaps no bid deal in the big scheme of things regarding his practice.
I didn't see the CNN piece, but recently provided clear proof they edit filmed segments to make people say things out of context to look bad. FWIW
