joe g ... I didn`t touch on the Doctors retiring ... but , I have a daughter who has been in the medical profession ( nurse/PA ) for the past 20 years and have been told that if the "single payer " system goes into effect , a good portion of the Doctors in the area she is in will get out or retire as NONE of them will work for the Federal Govt. and have them determine their treatments , compensation etc. I`ve gotten the same basic reply from several Doctors I know personally . Let`s do the math .... you add millions of new "patients " and reduce the number of Doctors .... can you say disaster ???
As you said ... why screw up an entire system for a comparatively small number that don`t have insurance , for whatever reason ? Is the system perfect .... no , but you tweak it ... not "reinvent" it .
Keep in mind , the same people who gave us the Postal system , Amtrack and the financial disaster we are in now will run the new system .
