the Poll was done by a group that was less than a year in the making who formed because they were against Obamacare, they had a very low response and they never asked if the Doctors considered quitting due to obamacare...so sadly, this has to be chalked up as another lie from the right wing. Regardless of what you think, FACT CHECKING is your friend, not your enemy guys and gals....

PolitiFact | GOP lawmaker Jeff Duncan repeats survey finding that 83 percent of doctors are considering quitting due to Obamacare
and the summary is below....
Our ruling
Duncan said "83% of doctors have considered leaving the profession because of #Obamacare." But that's an inaccurate description of the foundationÂ’s poll.
The poll did not specifically ask about the federal health care law and was meant to measure concerns about a wide range of changes in health care. Also, it's worth noting that the poll had a small return rate and the group that conducted it is opposed to the law. We rate the claim False.
The whole methodology behind that poll was hilarious. They selected for the results they wanted and tried to pass it off as a legit survey.
Yiou could tell the poll was hopelessly skewed when they recruited respondants by fax, which means that the overwhelming number of participants were small and solo outpatient practitioners. Thus, only about 11% of physicians polled were "hospital based".
It's the kind of laughable statistical shenanigans that people who read scientific papers shred and mock. I don't know who the hell they were trying to fool.
Oh yeah.... The gullible American public.
