While the problems of the uninsured should be addressed, is socialized medicine really the answer?
And considering that many nations in Europe, Canada, etc. have had socialized medicine for many years, we have seen both some good points and some big problems with those systems.
We have seen what the problems are in the real world, not as part of some abstract theory, but what has happened in these systems. Yet the Obamabots talk about this issue as if it is an abstract theory that has never been tried before.
Right. And a specialist in private practice even earns more and better control over his practice than being a ward of a large HMO or Government. Government control over health care will destroy good medical care by destroying private practice. Wait and see!!!!!
Specialists have higher income NOW.
They won’t under BO med-no-care. That’s one of the gripes not mentioned in the article. If all doctors are paid the same, you won’t get specialists. Why study 4 or 5 more years to get the same pay as the just-graduated resident?
