People who live in countries with socialized medicine don't have these issues.<br /><br />How does medical school work in Canada? I have not heard of doctors complaining about having outstanding loans so surely, what they are doing seems to be generally working. Nothing is perfect which I realize.<br /><br />This isn't an issue about the evil government vs. the evil insurance industry. This is about people like me who lose jobs being able to have affordable insurance. We need to get out of political ideologies and start looking at how to help people. Yeah, I know, I am living in fantasy land big time.<br /><br />SIGH!<br /><br />AAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301999496344158780.post-65725377389173472972010-04-01T15:06:08.892-07:002010-04-01T15:06:08.892-07:00As far as I can see a single payer system would th...As far as I can see a single payer system would then make it an illegal act for me to participate in any transaction involving the delivery of services to any individual without participating and accepting govt. cheese. Fuck that and the single payer system because that is what it will mean.This is a step in that direction. I am saving my money and planning on getting out in 5-7. I will teach high school with my time. Mark my words you will see a HUGE exodus of medical talent when this occurs. I am not saying you will not be able to make new Drs but who is taking on 250-300k in debt and 7-10 yrs of post grad ed to be told they are a govt. employee? They better plan on nationalizing med schools too if that happens.Dr Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453949255704523726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301999496344158780.post-73158948455328868642010-04-01T03:03:59.488-07:002010-04-01T03:03:59.488-07:00Apologies- bill passed house and is now at senate ...Apologies- bill passed house and is now at senate (health ins industry fair competition act)Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301999496344158780.post-86111060680606804462010-03-30T19:00:17.262-07:002010-03-30T19:00:17.262-07:00So why not a single payer system???
