Doctors are not known for the economic sense. What a moron. Does he really think government ever reduces the cost of anything or that it promotes innovation? We will be just like other countries with socialized medicine. We will all have little cards saying we have coverage, but nobody will be able to see a doctor or get treatment.
And doctors themselves will go begging.
“Doctors are not known for the economic sense.”

I’m a DO and can attest to the fact that while younger doctors (under 35, say) are intelligent and usually mean well, they’re often remarkably unsophisticated in the ways of the world.
By the time you’re done with college and (to a much greater extent) internship and residency don’t provide much opportunity for growth in area’s other than medicine.
Personally, I think the system stinks. I could take any reasonably intelligent person and turn them into a competent first line practitioner of clinical medicine in 3 or so years whether they knew what an golgi body or a ribosome was before we started or not.
On the other hand I know people who’ve been through 12 years of medical schooling and somehow managed to pass the boards who I wouldn’t let near my pets.
As to who these people were, many (tho not all) were known derisively as TWA’s by hospital workers.
