Doctors hate it just as much as patients do.


I'm sure of that. Their costs and delayed payment receipt sucks.

Now, imagine adding MORE government. It's lunacy.


Government involvement in providing medical care would make the care worse. However, single-payer means I (as the customer) wouldn't have to deal with these payment / billing issues.

I'm sure the payment/billing issues under a government plan would be 100 times worse for the docs, though.

My wife works in the medical field(administration) and they fight with the insurance companies more than patients do. They have a part time employee whose only job is calling insurance carriers to dispute things.

That is not what it means. It means there is only one insurance company. If you think all co-pays and deductibles and premiums are going away with single payer I have a desert in Venice to sell you.
