Well if they expect to become a doctor to get rich maybe they should find another job. There is no reason they need that much money when people need medical care. At least with single payer, they will have to accept a reasonable fee for their service.
Like health insurance executives??? You should see their "reasonable " fees!!!
But you want doctors to be highly skilled but not paid much....what's wrong with THAT picture???
And then point out all the countries that want to switch to our system of Health Insurance To Make The Wealthy Wealthier.
NHS....failing.
Canadian system....60% of people have private health insurance and it is failing its purpose(to provide healthcare,if there are no beds to be had or you must wait for care,that is a failure)
French system....requires most people to have supplemental insurance.
Perhaps YOU could point out a single payer system that is not failing?
What most nations do is this...tax certain people to pay for others to have a level of care and then the same people being taxed already go out and buy supplemental insurance so they can actually get what they want.
So, do the sneaky thing and mention that "no one is going to take away your insurance" and "no one is going to force you into the program", then slowly creep in public option, then slowly creep in single payer.
No thanks. Sounds like a good stunt from your heroes among the Obama/Bush team.
I have NO heroes on the Bush team and YOUR righty Rules state YOU can't mention Bush.
"""do the sneaky thing and mention that "no one is going to take away your insurance" and "no one is going to force you into the program", then slowly creep in public option, then slowly creep in single payer."""
Single payer does not take away your insurance(another lie by the right), nor will it be forced on anyone(the lies pile up)....if you can, prove that it does(and why would it???)
That's funny. Considering that health care has unlimited demand, proposing moral hazards that would restrict the amount of new doctors entering the field sounds boneheaded to me. I love being in academia, but would NEVER have chosen this track if there was even the slightest chance I could go to jail for a mistake that fell short of egregious malicious conduct (i.e. assaulting a student)
Guess I'll be off to Thailand in the event of necessary heart surgery. Get great care and a resort vacation rolled into one.
I didn't say they should go to jail if they make a mistake. They should go to jail if they when they allow people with diabetes to progress to the point that they need to have a leg amputated just so they can get a bigger fee.
The greedy doctor thinks, who cares if that old lady has only one leg, she now qualifies for a scooter. I'll wave to her as I drive by on my Harley.

Oh, TWO out of 38 and no proof what you say is true...

I didn't say they should not be paid much. I said they should get paid a reasonable fee and not get rich off of sick people.
As for the fat cat insurance executives, they will all be out of work soon enough. I bet they will be happy to have health care provided by our government then.

And that is why we need to ration health care! We do not have the resources to meet the unlimited demand. We have to limit that demand or we can't help the people who should get the treatment.
Or do they refer to black women who submit to their masters as something else? Aunt Theresa?
Someone, quick...get an SEIU member to spit in her face or punch some sense into her.
