The doctor may be in. But some patients are out.
A Florida doctor who opposes the health care reform bill has placed a sign outside his office that says “if you voted for Obama…seek Urologic health care elsewhere.”
Dr. Jack Cassell, a urologist from Mount Dora, Florida, is displaying a sign that also says “changes to your health care begin right now. Not in four years.”
He says that though he can’t turn patients away for having voted for Obama, because “that would be unethical,” he can “at least make a point.”
Cassell also told the Orlando Sentinel that if Obama supporters “read the sign and turn the other way, so be it.”
Cassell did not immediately return TPM’s request for comment.

Late Update: On Fox News today, Cassell contended that he’s “not refusing care” by putting up the sign.
