So you take a sample size of one, and extrapolate it across all ~3.8M square miles of USA territory?
No. They do not.
If you're a veteran, current serving member of the military, retired member of the military (as in you put in 20+ years), or Congressman than yes, you have an NHS system of care to avail yourself of.
Can you provide any evidence to suggest they are not doing well? Even if they weren't, why would you prohibit anyone from refusing insurance to maintain a practice? They are not denying just Medicare, but all insurance public and private. Why ban this practice? By your silence and deflection, I'm thinking you'd be worried that doctors would start engaging in this practice as a safer alternative to refusing just Medicare.
Just curious why you didn't just say "Yeah, even though it's a stupid idea, sure they could do this if they wanted"?

But, I'm also very confident that not all doctors, only a small minority, probably mostly in the South, would engage in such practices. Go to heavily centralized Britain, and most private doctors there accept NHS patients, some even have NHS days where those days are reserved exclusively for NHS patients. Very few doctors in the US would actually do what you are saying, and they will mostly be in the South, in the well to do suburbs that have people that can afford such. In other words, a small minority

Good, so you approve of them doing this practice then!
Problem is that we're not talking about the US, we're talking about NHS. Does the US employ NHS? If not, your response has nothing to do with the topic.
The US is not employing the NHS model, in-fact it's employing the opposite. Read up on why a nation who invented capitalism (UK) would move into a socialistic health care delivery system in the first place. Also, one can and many do, purchase private health insurance coverage in the UK. Unlike our system, it appears they do have choices in order to keep their asses covered.

But I don't know what the US has to do with NHS? We're talking about NHS in this thread.
1) I don't know. Doesn't the right wing favor tort reform, to limit your right to sue here?!?!?
2) I was sent home with a catheter bag due to a kidney stone. Was hemorrhaging on the ride home
Get your head out of your ***. There is nothing special about our medical system for the average patient. I had much better treatment in a socialized Toronto Hospital when I fell ill there, than I ever did here.
Teform yes;taotal doigaway no. Wander if you can use NHS as asked. Catherter alone can make yopu bleed of course otr removal like mnay thing stuck ito you. What was the outcome?Did you die?
I do their practice. As long as they keep the place clean, of course . Most doctors don't have a political ax to grind. Like I said, they can refuse Medicare patients, but they'll be 100% on the hook for their debts and running costs and other things.

I can't make most of this out. No I didn't die. Really?
