Quote:

A doctor who stood at the foot of the bed for 5 seconds asked her how she was doing and immediately left charged her $800.00. Our health care system is broken, and the people funding the media want to make sure it stays broken, which is why you will hear the talk radio and political controlled TV tell all the "dittoheads" to repeat the mantra, socialized medicine is bad.

But if it was so bad, why are similar countries with socialized medicine living longer than us?

Notes



Good points here Notes. A bit of perspective on the $800 doctors bill. Most younger doc's are sitting on $200-300,000 in student loans that must be paid off. They are also paying several hundred grand a year in malpractice insurance. The biggest problem I have with Democrats in this area is the fact that they are owned by the trial lawyers who make literally millions in malpractice cases like our philandering former presidential candidate John Edwards. Ever see his house? 25,000 square feet.
I took the time some months ago to look up malpractice awards in Canada and I found a reference to a Canadian Supreme Court cast that capped it at something like $300,000 or so. I haven't studied this in depth so I could be wrong, maybe John can chime in on that. Whatever it is, I do know for a fact that no other country that we use as an example of health care has our legal tort system that allows for mega million dollar jury awards in malpractice cases. You notice there is nary a word about this in the current debate. It's because Obama is a lawyer, and the trial lawyers are the single biggest contributors to the Democratic party. You think the unions are big contributors, check out the lawyers. Between the schooling costs and malpractice insurance, there's your five minute $800 bill.
