Racist Neurosurgeons against Health Care reform

(crossposted from Bad Fiction)

Meet Dr. David McKalip, a Florida neurosurgeon, and a member of the American Medical Association's House of Delegates.

He's also the founder of the anti-reform group "Doctors for Patient Freedom". According to Talking Points Memo:

"He's also an energetic conservative opponent of health-care reform. McKalip founded the anti-reform group Doctors For Patient Freedom, as well as what seems to be a now defunct group called Cut Taxes Now. Last month he joined GOP congressmen Tom Price and Phil Gingrey, among others, for a virtual town hall to warn about the coming "government takeover of medicine." And in a recent anti-reform op-ed published in the St. Petersburg Times, McKalip wrote that "Congress wants to create larger, government-funded programs for health care and more bureaucracy that ration care and impose cookbook medicine.""


So how does he show his opposition to Obama's call for health care reform?

By posting on a "Tea Party" forum pictures like this.

He may be a talented Neurosurgeon, but I suspect he's going to have to consult a Proctologist to find both his brain and his heart. I wonder how much payola he's taking from the insurance industry - or if he doesn't ever notice the people needing his services that are dying due to lack of coverage or not having the money to pay the remainder of the cost.

Classy with a K(KK)....
