A Florida urologist who disagrees with the national health-care overhaul posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care "elsewhere."
Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, is a registered Republican and opposes the health care plan.
The sign he posted reads:
The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."
A few patients have complained about the sign, but Dr. Cassell says he has not turned any patients away and does not query them on their politicals.
Still, his sign has raised ethics issues. Doctors cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but political preference is not one of the legally protected categories specified in civil-rights law.
