"Would you think that a single payer system is a good idea or a bad idea if it removed all health insurance premiums, but also increased your taxes?" the pollsters asked. With the added information, support dropped, but not as much as one might expect. Fifty-nine percent, just slightly down from 65%, still called it a "good idea.”

And...? How much do doctors make? How much does the average American make?

From a providers perspective of course they would prefer single payer... the overhead of dealing with all the different payers is a huge cost burden on providers.

My GP is from Canada. He once had a chance to attend a conference with the Minister of Health present discussing Canada’s incoming switch to single-payer healthcare. This was obviously decades ago. He got to meet the guy in a bar later during the conference, and he said to the Minister, “You know a lot of this is not going to work.” And he reports that the Minister responded that they knew it wouldn’t work, but they were going to do it anyway.

My doc decided right then that he had to get the hell out of Canada, because of the coming system. He said that out of amazing fortune, he happened to get a call very soon out of the blue with a job opportunity in Houston, TX, where he’s been ever since. He was the youngest chief-of-staff ever at his hospital in Canada, and he had to take the lowest position possible when he came to U.S., but he was willing to take his family and do that to get the hell away from the oncoming Canadian system.

Because single payer is a cash cow for them. No accountability, ever rising costs and fees — no problem for them.

Although they are trained to think otherwise (the M-Diety) complex), doctors are not gods, they’re just hired help. And doctors are not first on my list for who to hire if I need financial advice (or legislative, for that matter). I care just about as much about what my doctor thinks about Single Payer as I do about what the CEO of PETA thinks about my choice of fishing lures.

Ping!

It must've been another aphasia episode. I'm sure what she MEANT to say was,

"Stand Up FOR the NRA."

This is because doctors are getting squeezed by ObamaCare. And the fact that colleges churn out Leftists.

They want their salaries guaranteed, so anything that guarantees that the health care industrial complex gets paid will get the doctors backing. G-d forbid they have to compete on cost & price for their services.

Along with exorbitant taxation and No Borders, the Catholic bishops have supported Communized health care for almost 100 years.
