You said:
‘...vitriol against all doctors, based on unsupported statements that most of them commit medicare fraud.’

But fraud in government funding occurs on all sides—by the recipients of medicare, by a very few doctors, and by the government bureaucrats managing it.

But your emotion is directed at doctors
In 1982, Hospitals were told that doctors had been ripping off medicare to the extent that it was bankrupt and that patients were actually going to have to shorten hospital stays and that the governmnet would be in charge of that, overseeing the insurance industry who would make the call...’

Nope. I never stated that most doctors are responsible.

I talk about the system only. They are caught up in it.

And YOUR unfounded statements based on feelings and wishes, no documentation are easily refuted with at least the document I posted:

‘The Impact of Health Care Fraud on the United States ...’

Which you can google and in which you will find a 1997 finding that:

‘medical providers are responsible for 72 percent of health care fraud...’

Here’s something quite typical, from post #17:
My doc sees me for two to three minutes per visit and charges medicare for an “extended visit”, every time.

$130, medicare pays 80%, I pay 20%.’

My point is that since the early 1980s, you can read it in my post #2, which I am wasting my time rewriting, but I’ll do it, Medicare has been bankrupt far sooner than expected due to the enormous fraud.

That is where the DSM came from. Insurance companies and medicare at that point no longer allowed doctors to be in charge of who stayed, how long they stayed, what treatments they got, and how much money was reimbursed. It was over then. And since then, the fraud has not abated to a degree that made medicare solvent, and the DSM cannot keep up.

I stated clearly that medicare and government funding was not a good way to go to begin with, but fraud and pretending it was money that grew on trees was not helping.

And I am also stating that the public better get ready for the fact that the days are short where a lifelong drug and alcohol abuser gets a week long stay in a private room with all the meds known to alleviate DTs, renal and liver failure, anxiety, pain, bleeding, head injuries from falling down in a drunken stupor and paid for by the government after a life of no employment due to the enabling nature of our socialism which certainly extends into our medical system which is so sick itself that this horrible president moved in on like a parasite but found it too sick to feed off of any longer.

Watch Obamacare fizzle out.
