Aren't mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging nationalists typically the folks who yell "traitor" at the top of their lungs when someone makes an economically rational choice like this?

Give it a try some time, don't name the country, just list the things they do and see if people on this site call it socialism or not.

I don't go by what other people think. Dummies on CD and elsewhere actually believe that corporatism and capitalism are equivalent.

People on this site think Communism is big government when in fact it is no government.

The ones going BK are private practice folks, mostly in rural areas.

Well that would make sense and it's a shame. But I assume most of these large practices have malpractice insurance and overhead....the reason they charge so much I guess.

Large practices can afford the cost in relationship to the number of patients they can churn out.

It's why America is moving towards a more top-heavy bureaucratic health care system, whether it goes UHC or stays corporatist/socialist.

My Attorney charges 4 times more money than my M.D does for the same amount of time...and the Attorney has never been sued for malpractice...Guess who has the bigger house and faster car..
