NYT believes that there are piles of medical goods and services just lying around and the only problem we have is redistributing it efficiently.
Still way too many doctors out there who don’t understand that they can no longer expect to live a politician’s lifestyle.
Oh, how I wish I were a trial lawyer specializing in medical malpractice. They are going to seriously overload the courts.
This what this was really about from the beginning. Medicaid expansion as a vector to single-payer after the screaming started about the rest of this fiasco.
If medical malpractice presents an impediment to ObamaCare, what do you think is going to happen to the whole subject of medical malpractice?
MomMD, are you living "a politicians life style"?
it's very possible medical malpractice premiums will skyrocket and doctors will not be able to afford to either pay the premium or do without it.
It's also very possible that the entire system of malpractice law will be thrown right into the trash can, at least for people who have their medical bill paid by ObamaCare bucks.
Then we'll really see John Edwards' "two Americas."
“If medical malpractice presents an impediment to ObamaCare, what do you think is going to happen to the whole subject of medical malpractice?”
There will be tort reform, what else?
Yeah, tort reform. Right.
Trial lawyers own the Dems. Insurance companies don’t: they just enter into convienience deals when the Dems dangle enough incentive carrots in front of them.
Any profession governed by licensure can be controlled.
Far more on Medicaid and far fewer doctors accepting Medicaid, what could possibly go wrong??
What is the expectation of those on Medicaid? Do they think they will now have access to Rodeo Drive doctors?
I expect the premiums will be subsidized for those who accept Medicaid, therefore bribing doctors to accept it
In a few short years, that will be all of us. Oh, and hope and pray your assigned doctor isn't a Muslim jihadi with a diploma from some 3rd world medical program and he speaks English you can understand. Then hope the bribe you have to give him is adequate...
Tort reform and the ability to buy insurance from other states were two of at LEAST a dozen things Republicans wanted and fought for since this monstrosity was introduced, not passed, introduced. And they were both shot down repeatedly from “Dead on arrival”, “non-starter” Reid and “you can’t be serious” Pelosi.
Republicans were completely shut out of the discussion.
In my opinion, this is all part of a brilliant plan. There already is a doctor shortage without medicare, and there have not been enough medicare doctors up to this point. Any senior can tell you the wait to see a specialist is terrible. Why would any doctor want to treat patients who pay less over someone willing to pay a premium. You cant blame them. Nobody enters a profession to give it away. Especially a doctor which requires a lot of time and money before you even start to see the fruits of your labor. Lets push medicare alittle further where choices will have to be made who deserves the treatment the most. Dare I say death panels?? That’s one way to get rid of the boomers who will be sucking up the social security funds.
This article also needs to point out that Buckwheat has illegally stolen $460 billion from Medicare, paid for by people who contributed via their paychecks, and the Mau-Mau spear-chucker intends to give that money to black slobs, and their fatherless offspring, who never worked a day in their lives.
This is racist reparations in full view for anyone who cares to look.
