No.
Why would they have a problem with treating their fellow Al Quida members? After all, the AMA, with their blackmail and extortion advertisements, which are used to terrorize the seasoned citizens amongst us are more damaging than any amount of C4.
Gee. Those “seasoned citizens” sure are a crabby lot. First they get health care for 10 cents on the dollar, then they complain because doctors are having to see Al-qeeda to make a living! If Bin Laden was bankrolling your medical bills, you too could probably get an American doctor to fix some of that faulty wiring in your attic before you spontaneously combust.
I’ve got a letter from Illinois governor Rod Blojogevic stating that the state is better funded now and will resume paying physicians for their medicaid patients. For the last few months we’ve been floating the state an interest free loan; on top of working for 20 cents on the dollar to begin with.
If AlQuida pays cash at the receptionists desk then show them to the exam room!
It seems to me it is a greater crime to take dollars to render legal services to Al-Quida members than to provide medical care. Seriously, doctors need to keep in mind that they may be one of the few persons interacting with an AlQaeda member or any other criminal. Ever wonder about those patients who whip out a large wad of cash and don’t list an occupation?
