I’m not much up on …
I’m not much up on my economics, so I can’t say I have an opinion ’cause I don’t understand all the implications. My knee jerk reaction would be no. We need healthcare in the same way we need clean water and healthy foods. There’s a difference between free market economics in the car industry v. the medical profession….you can always take a bike to work, but it’s awfully hard to take out your own ruptured appendix, you know?

Would you agree …
Would you agree that instead we should let the free-market decide the fate of the health care system, like Ron Paul advocates? joust wondering.

Healthcare is owned …
Healthcare is owned by pharmaceutical companies that’s how hospitals get there money.
That’s how you stonewall any real “health” or “care” say: If you don’t do as we say and buy into our colleges and our rules and our insurances corporations and our drugs then you will not be a doctor “professionally” I understand exactly what you are saying CordsZ.

Not all of them do, …
Not all of them do, and many are opposed to the sanctions placed on them by insurance companies and corporate hospitals. But if they do not play those games, they aren’t licensed by the state board to practice and they won’t receive liability insurance, which is also a requirement to practice medicine. Same goes for nurses etc. They also won’t be hired to work in a facility, and the stand up costs for a practice are horrendous.

Well that’s just …
Well that’s just dumb. We need healthcare providers and medicines and trauma care etc. We’d all be dead at 30 just like in the Middle Ages without those things. Healthcare needs to be returned to the practitioners though, and taken away from special interest groups and business types.

Just don’t become a doctor and therefore support it? Duh?

Unfair to, “roll up …
Unfair to, “roll up doctors in this , , ,?” They roll over like trained dogs for big pharma and insurance companies. Remember “fee-for-service” medicine? It was much less intrusive and a more collaborative effort. Oh yeah, it was cheaper, too.

I think it’s a bit unfair to roll the doctors and nurses up in this. While doctors (for the most part) favor more medical v. holistic intervention, it’s the corporations behind the hospitals and the insurance companies that force the medical field to churn out babies like licence plates at a factory. Medical personnel hate it as much as the patients and advocates, if not more. We all need to get together to get the businessmen back OUT of healthcare!
