Doctor tells Obama supporters to go elsewhere for health care

A Mount Dora urologist has generated attention for a sign at his office that bluntly warns supporters of President Barack Obama to find a different doctor.

The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."



Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, said he's not turning away patients, because that would be unethical.



Yet, he said if patients choose not to see him after reading the sign, that's OK with him.

William Allen, professor in bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida, said the urologist may be within his rights if he doesn't quiz patients about their politics and hasn't refused to see anyone.
