In Brazil the doctors are only paid to see 10 patients a day on their wonderful universal care so what do the docs do? You guessed it. They only see 10 patients a day and then go home. Why should they do anymore work if not being paid? They might even go to another job that pays more then a big fat 0.
Socialism always stops productivity in people. Plus do you think drug companies are going to be out money to develop anymore drugs or procedures to save lives when they lose doing it? Where is this money tree where we are suppose to get the 1.2 trillion to pay for everything. It's a nice thought and if we lived in a utopia it could be done but not doable in this life.
We've go some snake oil salesmen up on the hill for sure.
Do you have a legitimate link to back up that assertation that Brazil doctors are only being paid to see 10 patients a day, and only seeing 10 patients a day? They revamped their entire health system approx 10 years ago...
Would someone on the left please inform us why healthcare should be free. The basic necessities for life are food, shelter, and clothing (according to most), so should those ALSO be free?
Should not a farmer be compensated for his labors,...a builder for his construction,...and a clothier for his garments? If healthcare is to be treated as an entitlement, why should not the other basic necessities?
Please inform the conservatives where the "line is drawn"...

It is not free now and will not be after we get a national system. There, fell better? Now if you do not want to use it you can go buy your own, see how easy this is.

Would someone one on the Right please tell us why taking care of the sick is expected to be a profitable business?
kinda the basis of a capitalist society. Each of us has a skill that we trade, barter, or sell in exchange for other goods and services. Some are perceived to be worth more than others.
WASHINGTON — Democrats trying to push President Barack Obama's health care overhaul plan through the Senate got a sober warning Friday that costs will keep going up and proposed Medicare savings may harm the program.
A new report from government economic analysts at the Health and Human Services Department found that the nation's $2.5 trillion annual health care tab won't shrink under the Democratic blueprint that senators are debating. Instead, it would grow somewhat more rapidly than if Congress does nothing.
