It is possible that some medical professionals will be disadvantaged by elements of the Act. In some cases, they will not be able to charge quite as much as they had in the past. However, some reimbursements will actually increase, and it is likely that they will appreciate the increased reason for people to regularly attend to their health. I also doubt they enjoy having to turn people away due to lack of medical coverage. The American Medical Association approved the Act as passed by Congress.
This absolutely is not a neutral piece which discusses all pros and cons of the legislation. That is why I was clear to mark it as opinion. I do not think anyone should make a decision based solely upon it; they should read a variety of sources to form their own opinion. I do think it is an issue that U.S. furry fans would do well to consider when they vote - more importantly, it may provide a reason for them to vote at all, one way or another.
