"Nobody knew health care could be so complicated."
From when i started working in 1984 until '08/'09 i don't ever remember it being an issue or complicated. It was always just a small payment taken out of my check.
I have money and insurance currently, so no that's not what I want.
I want people without coverage to not have to worry about getting care.
I want people who change jobs to not have to worry about losing access to care.
I want to stop having to worry about reassessing plans every year to find out what the new limits are since all plans constantly change under the current insane system and its spiraling costs.
One simple plan for everyone that's cheaper, results in better national health, and eases tons of administrative burden in health care delivery.
Why can’t you pay for other people’s expenses voluntarily?

When you want to do something, do it with your own money. Put your own money where your big mouth is.
Exactly. It is Congress that is limiting the number of doctors, not the AMA.
They are lobbying for more residencies, so, no, you haven't got it.
Sure, in public that's their official stance. But the $424 million they've given in political contributions since 1998 kind of makes me question their motivation.

No, you still do not have it.
Just like how you need a license to instruct someone how to do downward-facing-dog across numerous states throughout the nation or even give a kid a bowl cut. It's all about "insuring competency".
Uh huh.

Again you still don't have it.
They don't call it "practicing" medicine for nothing. Believe what you will.

The AMA is lobbying for more doctors, not fewer.
If you want someone "practicing" on you without having to demonstrate competency, feel free.
