But he seems like such a nice, helpful bureaucrat.
Of course you'll need a friend or relative around to try to get you some treatment other than that final pill.
“You might not be able to have any doctor. Good luck everyone.”
The best physicians will be reserved to care for the elites. For the rest of us going to see a doctor regarding a health condition will look like:
At first you may be able to see a foreign educated immigrant doctor from Cuba, Pakistan, India who cannot speak the language well and likely will not understand what you say.
Later only nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants will be available unless you have special access privileges determined by government bureaucrats.
Ultimately, particularly if you are elderly and no longer considered productive by society, you will see a bureaucrat who will give you end of life counseling and a pill.

Later on.... yep, totally concur here, too.
Ultimately.... Disagree here.
I just think that ultimately, you won't see anyone. Think of an office with banks of phones, endlessly ringing. Because if there's one thing that bureaucrats hate, it's taking responsibility for anything. And a 'Death Panel' implies responsibility.
Honestly, I'd rather have a 'Death Panel'. Would have someone to hold accountable, and maybe, eventually, action might get taken. No answer at all....or maybe an endless phone tree ("Press 1 for Spanish. Press 2 for Arabic. Etc") ... gives no accountability.
Also, no one to get strung up by the angry mobs.

It's the hands-on medical profession that has no future under Obamacare.
then they’ll grill you and your kids on if you have guns.
Later only nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants will be available unless you have special access privileges determined by government bureaucrats.My primary care physician is retiring at the end of the month after 51 years.
The office is adding another nurse practitioner; it will then consist of my doctor's son (an internist) and 2 NP's. They haven't been able to find another MD to take his place.
