Just so you know ,nationalized health care was part of the 1968 Republican platform
How elitist is this question? God forbid we inconvenience the people that Conservative laisse-faire economic policies have not deprived of health care by making them wait with the great unwashed proletariat that those economic policies have deprived of their health care
The fact of life is that if people don't have health care the governments is going to pay for it anyway .The difference is that instead of waiting until a condition gets really serious and then going to the ER of a county hospital to treat it -which is the single most expensive way to do it - People may be able to visit an FP and catch the condition early while it's still cheap.either way the public pays for it.
Just so you know,part 2 there is no correlation between how a good a doctor is and how much money they make There are thousands of doctors all over America that are making between ten and twelve bucks an hour -they're called residents
If I was in a really bad car accident I would much rather put my life in the hands of a 50 K fourth surgical resident who was working at a Level 1 trauma center than some 500K surgeon who was workin at a small community hospital and mastering lap cholly's in his spare time
There are also some really excellent doctors out there who work for The Indian Health Service ,The Military ,The Public Health Service for wages that are considerably less than the private sector pays.
