This argument against medicare only strengthens the argument for a UHC. Medicare and medicade would no longer exist. There are NO poor Doctors under the UHC in the UK or other UHC Countries. If Doctors want to earn mega bucks at the expense of millions of good hard working Americans...... Tough!
Yes, need to nationalize immediately to help these poor doctors. I didn't realize the system was in such poor state. No wonder they want to change it.
Obviously, that is silly.
Very few, if any doctors, have exclusively a medicare practice. If they did, as the physician noted in the thread, they would be broke.
Eventually, we will be squeezed by private insurance and medicare both to the point of insolvency, at which point many docs will be begging to be on salary. National healthcare, with still a few for service system, only reduces reimbursement per patient to medicare rates and makes it much worse for physicians. I personally will not see any national health care patients, just as I no longer take any new medicare or Title IXX patients (medicaid). A salaried position in the future may be the best option of physicians, as new docs with heavy debt load will no longer be able to enter the field.

Not silly, The government will pay them every two weeks and they can devote ALL of their time to healing the sick.
Most Americans can't wrap their heads around how much work it takes to get the MD and how much responsibility it is to practice medicine, either.
LOL! A guy I know got his med school completely paid for by the gov't. Like I said earlier, he's one of those people who says he hates socialism, but is one of its biggest beneficiaries.
