I hope you are right.
I am a nurse, my husband an ortho surgeon.
If this bill passes, we will both have to face patients who will need procedures done, but will get denied.
At the same time, face endless amounts of government red tape. We will be working at slave wages.
Who needs this?

How about we pick out a small island country in the Caribbean and have all the health care professionals move there and start a thousand clinics and hospitals, and then set up an international travel system to shuttle patients all to the islands?

Short term housing can be built to house families that are in long term treatment regimens,and supporting infrastructure would need to be built.

Many jobs could be created for some willing small island near the US.

Maybe the Mayo Clinic can move there as well...

Way back in 1977 I visited the old Soviet Union and saw for myself the scourage that is communism. Doctors were being paid the same wages as taxi drivers, and the only people who got good medical care (and even then not that great) were the Party officials at the Kremlin.

No, you do not need this — I don’t have the answer but certainly did learn a lot in those days long ago when seeing the horrors of communism/socialism — same thing really. There were no CHOICES in anything — you wanted green beans, you bought USSR Green Beans in dented dirty cans in the market. I took photos in those markets; I know what it’s like.

No competition, no motivation to do good work anywhere - govt. “takes care of” everyone. Yeah, and everyone has a job — it is probably sweeping streets with brooms from 1918 but that’s what they had the senior citizens doing!

We cannot tolerate this overthrow of capitalism — time for a takeover by US!
