" I am 100% for healthcare for everyone for free at that." That was your statement in an earlier post.

If I'm not paying, because it's free, who is going to pay them?

Well vets do it because it brings in more business. I now take my dog to a vet that has low income shots/neuter clinics. She got my business because she had that and I took him to get shots and I liked how she treated my dog.

The government I already told you that. Just like they pay the military that does include doctors.The people should benefit from things first. If you have a valuable skill then it should be used not just for profit but for helping others. Lawyers do pro bono work Doctors can as well in some cases.

If all doctors accepted SOME (e.g. 10%) Medicaid patients, they wouldn't be overrun with Medicaid patient the some doctors now necessarily must be.

Then lower the overhead. Vets manage to do it. They do low income clinics. Hell my vet even gave me free flea medicine for my dog because I couldn't afford it at the time. I will stand by what I said. If you think doctors should be allowed to just deny services to citizens because they can't pay you are an evil evil person. You are practically wishing death on people in some cases. Hell why not put them on a payment plan? EVERYONE can pay a little here and there. That's even better than medicaid especially if the person is just down on their luck at the moment and will bounce back eventually...But the best system is free healthcare...shall we look at how much more advanced countries that have that are?

Doctors in the military do their jobs just fine and they are getting paid according to rank not anything else. Vets do low income shots and neutering etc...why can't doctors be like those folks why do they need to have EVERYONE pay for something they need but can't afford? Are they just supposed to die because of that? LOL Why would I pay for their schooling? If they were smart they went through the military and did it.
So now they not only need to provide care for nothing, (and yes, thats exactly what you are saying), but they now need to do it through the military as well.

What a fascist...

What a fascist...
The doctors in the military are soldiers and get paid according to rank. They don't get special pay because they are doctors. I will take being called a fascist any day over being the one wanting to make sure the poor and disabled don't get healthcare because they can't afford it. Just some real sick minds here.Won't treat a poor sick person so you can make sure you get paid...just sickening.

The Soviet Union implemented universal health care in 1937 and extended equal access to its rural residents in 1969.[2][3] New Zealand created a universal health care system in a series of steps from 1939 to 1941.[2][4] On July 5, 1948, the United Kingdom implemented its universal National Health Service. Universal health care was next introduced in the Nordic countries of Sweden (1955),[5] Iceland (1956),[6] Norway (1956),[7] Denmark (1961),[8] and Finland (1964).[9] Universal health insurance was then implemented in Japan (1961), Saskatchewan (1962) followed by the rest of Canada (1968–1972),[2][10] and twice in Australia (1974 and 1984). Universal national health services were then introduced in the Southern European countries of Italy (1978), Portugal (1979), Greece (1983), and Spain (1986), followed by the Asian countries of South Korea (1989), Taiwan (1995), and Israel (1995). From the 1970s to 1990s, the Western European countries of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany,[11] and Luxembourg expanded their social health insurance systems to provide universal or near-universal coverage, as did the Netherlands (1986 and 2006) and Switzerland (1996).

All them darn 3rd world countries! EVIL!!!!!
