Especially since even considering to address the status quo of our precious and "perfect" health care system will get you labeled as an America-hating socialist.
) but be decisive and go for it because the more you let the argument shift and continue to buckle under the pressure and play into all the BS the more likely it is to fail. (which doesnt bother me but then again I dont support the Bill at all 
)The cost would go down tremendously. The typical person would literally save hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of their lifetime.
Though I am sure you never partake in the vitriol and BS that Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and your boy Fat Rush have to say AT ALL 
Another observation that no one seems to be talking about- the current crop of MDs coming out have the mentality of entitled spoiled brats. (no strong feelings here) I am sure not all of them, but my exposure is they want no on call, holidays off, shorter hours, larger paychecks than their work ethic can support and little intrusion into their personal life. They have an inflated idea of what they are entitled to when they look for a job- that is what previous generations worked up the ladder to achieve when they were in their 40s. This generation wants everything as they come out of the gate. This is not the life of a PCP. They aren't stupid to figure this out when they pick a specialty. Specialties tend to work in larger groups so have less call and more flexibility in things that conform to what they think they are owed.
Anytime I have been somewhere (all primary care) looking for a new doc it is avg 2-3 yrs to find one and their work ethic isn't that impressive when we get em. They are a commodity as there are so few of them and they know it. Unfortunately many practices cannot meet the demands and the remaining MDs get pretty burnt out.
They have softened up so much on what is required in residency that the Docs coming out are truly shocked at what is required of them. We have had a few that simply decide that they don't want to be a Doc anymore.
Heinlein postulated that wars were fought because of population pressures (Starship Troopers)
DUH!!! And what about the other 3 Horsemen? They're feeling the short shrift.Well when there is war, people die, when people die the population drops meaning less people need health care...DUH!
AH, that is why I am the commie pinko. I feel better
Now, if they would just spend that to take care of some of the old folk who can't afford meds or on prenatal care for the indigent or something I would feel so much better.....
Yep.Most of the new docs are now are coming out of med school with six figure med school loan debt loads to add to the personal grind of medical development. Most of the older docs did not start their careers so deep in the hole financially. These are also mostly people who have been high achievers all of their lives, and have been told over and over again how special they are, making egos huge. Add the ego to the debt load, and you have a recipe for the narcisistic personality laced with more than a little agita...
