Has been reelected Obama care is the law of the land doctor Barbara Millar is one person though who is not particularly happy about it she says she lost her job at a hospital because of our opposition to obamacare.
You'll remember while running for the Illinois State Senate -- -- are offered a very Republican very brutal diagnosis and the president's health care law.
He had indicated within health care plan we are forced to purchase and finally we don't.
We just so poorly covered at least ten million more people.
Without getting a single and doctors but -- I was sixteen dollars and Yahoo! IRS agents.
Yeah maybe it was your friends and doesn't understand.
NBA.
Players themselves.
Yeah minister I don't read any -- who didn't.
-- -- -- -- Upcoming weekend already -- weapons over security and many here.
All he overseen by surgeon general is obese I'm.
Negative -- so I'm glad.
Yeah.
Send -- -- anabolic care costs doctor below are her job.
And we -- sector employer mattress -- medical center a spokesperson told us said hospital practice is not to comment on private personnel matters.
Doctor below are actually just beating death camp.
Good evening Greta well looking at the record let me ask you having do their patients any problems of the house.
-- -- -- -- -- -- it's been reported to me a couple of times this week that might patient satisfaction has been consistently high over the past number of years.
And my internal office audits we just had one was 96% which is a really good.
I have -- be also chair of the ethics committee and I rate does senior articles every month and do a lot of public speaking for -- hospital.
-- so why -- this private hospital I'm sure you ask them -- decide not to renew your contract.
But dead you set down with a CEO and -- -- the CEO -- -- explanation why your contract would that record has not been renewed.
Online do not receive any kind of adequate explanation.
I -- Chad to precipitate for the meeting to even happened and they did bring an attorney with me because I felt very vulnerable.
And they insisted the attorney could not be present so he kindly left and then I was sitting there with three people from the organization.
There's there's there's no good explanation I -- I firmly believe and I am of the opinion.
That failure to renew my contract is -- direct result of my being an opponent of Obama care.
And resonating with the you know you -- -- American public of the viral video which is -- half million hits at least.
Why why do you think that it did someone savings is simply the clintons obviously that video didn't go viral inflated here on Fox News number times here and on the record number times -- definitely didn't go viral.
But is it just a judge has been one of the -- -- you would have something so viral and he had such a good record as a doctor -- your contract is a renewed.
Or is there any other you know evidence or proof.
Knowing -- -- avenues and mean you know if a person wanted to bring up.
Age discrimination or nepotism or other matters but it really appears to -- -- you know conservative candidate.
And you know there's -- organization that owns this organization.
And so I you know I may be just too much of political.
Hot potato potential for them.
-- write your here's I firmly.
Yes -- -- sense I have sacked.
Now I firmly believe it's a result of my being at home until Obama care.
Right you lost your state senate race -- has a hospital -- they ever object to -- running for office.
They never -- either way though -- statement was made this week that they would have.
I would probably -- there because he'd said.
If I was elected as senate they would have been glad to have a senator in the hospital.
But I don't know if you wanted to discuss some moments you know what actually did happen in Illinois I kind of wanted to throw out.
Just a perspective.
Of we -- a superb campaign and I went and give a couple of points if if you want to -- -- I had number one is that I think it's a severe partisan redistricting of what happened in Illinois we used to be red -- a red state in the eighties announce a blue state.
And I think when you're out funded three to one you know thinks of course demand again in unions and trial lawyers in private -- acts.
And I think the GOP needs to present real solutions not just talk about who we should fighter that can be part of it but we need the real solutions.
And we need to stop -- being ashamed.
Of being a conservative pat -- platform I mean the GOP is become -- less.
And you know it's like -- we have would too weak to speak.
And we need a voice and I have vocal chords and I believe the message that you know is trying is traditional values and limited government.
And lastly.
The you know they Democrats did an excellent ground game they had three years to register millions of voters and they did a really good job of that.
I -- and I'm not dead thirty seconds left I'm curious this have been to have put that didn't renew your contract privately owned.
Add that any financial promises we would that be a reason to let you go or not are they doing okay.
I believe they're doing OK I know.
You know they just just hired a young doctor two weeks ago.
-- I -- it -- get someone I can't pay up file suit about the fact that this just mean.
It's -- your fired citizen renew your contract but he did intended make is this the end of letters -- some more action for the hospital.
I think it remains to be seeing -- they're definitely not being -- considered reasonable or cooperative at all.
And so -- there there are more things to be set on this manner.
And I also want to add if you're interested in my political interests of for the future.
He can't deny destiny.
And I I think you know when you meant to be in public office so I can continue to pursue acting in medicine and wanting to be of service to the public.
That's a Goliath thank you we watch is different I think -- -- -- thank you.
Thank you very much coming -- seven.
