I read the article. How do you bury a hole?

"You would think that when your party is burying a hole that is getting harder and harder to get out of, you wouldn't want to that hole get deeper faster."

Making doctors do their jobs. HOW HORRIBLE! Now if we can make companies like Wal Mart stop paying slave wages we can get somewhere. Bar them from moving their company overseas,institute a livable wage of 15.50$ an hour,if they can afford billions in pay and riches for the top executives they can pay their actual workers a little better...But it will never happen big business and government are in bed together. Long as BB keeps helping politicians get elected,politicians will help BB. Its the good ole I scratch your back you scratch my back and the people get screwed idea.

lol. Doctor not accepting Medicare doesn't mean they're not doing their job. They're doing their job for people who can pay them. If a food store doesn't accept EBT, should they be forced to?

Yep.Although not on as grand scale. Say I go to hospital it might be only hospital for 20-30 miles I am sure I can find more than 1 store to buy food at in same town...big difference. Don't want to accept the insurance people have don't become a doctor.

Sounds pretty similar to the neocons in the Texas legislature trying to force abortion clinic doctors to have admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of their clinic.

In short:

1. Both parties suck.

2. Neither party is preferable to the other with regards to this kind of intrusion and invasion into the private lives of citizens or the regulation of certain agencies and professions.

3. Anyone who thinks one party is better than another regarding this is simply a hypocritical myopic partisan hack imbecile.

That's like saying don't want to accept cash, don't open a store.

Your thinking is seriously flawed if you think doctors have to accept insurances that don't even pay anything worth accepting as payment.
