Dear Lord you have drank the koolaid. I work in healthcare and can tell you that I do not know one surgeon who doesn’t agree that Obamacare was meant to fail to push in socialized medicine.

I've had a hacking cough since Saturday. My back literally cracks when I cough. I can't sleep through the night because I wake up coughing. Last year I had pneumonia for damn near a month. So, I'm not fricking around with this stuff. I'm going to the doctor before it gets worse.

And who knows, it could be a tumor.

such a terrible cop out. its nice to blame 1 guy but i think you're letting everyone that actually caused this shite off the hook when you do that. its been a steady rise since the mid 90s as more and more lobbyists have taken more control

2. Ask your congressional delegation to expand Medicare. A seismic shift is necessary.


Can you tell me what this would accomplish?

You are trying to say that as a physician you don't know the cost of your own services? I have friends that are ophthamologists and each of them knows exactly what an office visit costs, what an eye exam costs, a glaucoma screening costs.....visual field, etc.


Not as much as you think. What you bill for those services and what you receive from the 100 different insurance companies is completely different.

What each different plan covers
What drugs are covered by each plan and if you have to try a specific generic first
Surgery center costs
Etc
Etc
Etc

And you can’t argue the the patient knows ANY of those costs

Stop introducing facts. It really hurts the narrative.

Do you have an explanation for why literally almost every cost in healthcare has increased except, for example, lasik surgery or Botox?

Get rid of Health Insurance companies. They try to deny coverage any which way they can. In other words, they try to screw you, the customer, every which way they can

You would think that, considering the idea of universal healthcare came from the Heritage Foundation - a conservative think tank.

Plus premiums went up 200 - 300% while our salaries grew at 2.5%.

Obama set us back 100 years

Many of us are self employed and were the ones most affected by Obama and his if you like your healthcare you can keep your healthcare lie.

Honestly, I don’t want to discuss this. I just point out the stupid comments.

I have been discussing this issue at the dinner table since the late 70s/early 80s.

Both parents physician. Brother is a neuro radiologist.

I have a much better understanding than you about the history of medicine in this country. And the decisions made early in the 20th century that lead us down the path to where we are today.

Don’t tell the resident dumbass liberals on the board this. I mean all those regulations that stifled economic growth were almost as great as blowing up the healthcare industry in an effort to ram-rod socialized medicine down our throats!

Wow. I would say I’m shocked, but I’m not really shocked.

I’m a physician FYI, so I would say I’m just as qualified as you to discuss the topic, but your narcissism ended any possibility of that almost immediately. You sound like a prick too which is ironic because physicians are usually the narsicistic pricks. Then again, you were raised by doctors so maybe that explains it. I hope I do a better job with my children.

Likely because you are so stupid and all you can spew off is some canned progressive talking points.

I’ll offer you the same bet as the others.

But you will run away, like the others.
