Single-payer HC plan IS the answer......

[Toddsterpatriot]

How many doctors currently refuse to take new Medicare patients?

.....but ONLY because they have the choice of fleecing morons like you instead......Where in that Hippocratic Oath does it state for doctors to refuse care and treatment because the feds don't pay more and on time????

Please find that little part of the oath.....LOL

You should become a doctor and only treat Medicare patients.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Single-payer HC plan IS the answer......

Sure, if you want longer wait times resulting in extended suffering and possibly your death

Who would WIN under such a single payer system???

The rich, actually, dumb ass, because they'll be able to get the best care from where ever they need it while rest of us serfs get the government shit.

You people are absolutely brilliant. I mean, really....

I have a better idea.......Doctors want to be licensed?...
Revoke licenses for REFUSING to see a sick person because they're on Medicare.......US citizens in their elderly years should NOT be treated as second class inconveniences because there's not enough money in Medicare to take Fridays off to go play golf....

There once was a Hippocratic Oath....what happened???

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Who would lose? People would lose. Healthcare would become more scarce, providers would flee.

Yes, "true".....Most doctors and nurses would choose to work as WalMart greeters.......(Hannity would be proud of you parroting him.)

The whole FUCKING WORLD already has done this....and somehow some American morons "think" that they are better informed.

They've already fled government run healthcare. Moron.

How many Doctors refuse to take Medicare patients? In particular how many who treat geriatric patients and pediatrics? What specialties dominate those who have refused to accept Medicare?

You made a claim, now provide the details. Lies by omission, are damn lies!

Well, since you're a "gold supporting member"....I'll skip mopping the floor with you lest I get kicked off.....again....for the 3rd time...

LOL

bashing Michelle Obama for her healthier school lunch menu regimens???...

Yes, "healthier" food that the kids refused to eat was very helpful.

True...left to their own choices, kids would rather follow the Trump diet.....and wind up looking like this clown

Maybe she should look into those school menus?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

the governors of those states wanted to REPATRIATE drugs sold by US manufacturers to Canada, to help seniors have cheaper access to needed drugs...which were perfectly good, safe and effective.

Yeah, screw those drug companies!!

Who needs new drugs anyway? DERP!

Well, the drug companies "won"......

Good news!

Well, some of us don't like getting screwed repeatedly.....YOU, on the other hand, have grown to like it.....

Assume the position, Todd baby and NO squealing......LOL

Some of us prefer the new drugs that American pharma companies constantly develop.
For some reason the countries you prefer leech off our pharma industry instead of using their own.

That's okay, if you have a serious medical issue, I'm sure aspirin will fix you right up.

Revoke licenses for REFUSING to see a sick person because they're on Medicare

Excellent idea! One sure way to increase the number of doctors is to force them to work more for less.

There once was a Hippocratic Oath....what happened???

The government fucked it up.

Sure, why not? Since Medicare underpays them they'll just raise their costs on the rest of us further contributing to the rising health care costs in our country.

Another brilliant suggestion from our resident dumb ass.

Oh, by the way, you have no right to a doctor's service. They aren't your slave.

‘An epic fail — seven years gone down the drain’: Fox’s Krauthammer shreds GOP and Trump for health care flop

 

[nat4900]

Sure, why not? Since Medicare underpays

Hey, moron.......WHO exactly established the amount that you...in your ever-lasting "wisdom".....now conclude that doctors are UNDERPAID by Medicare ???

When was the last time you saw a doctor picking up aluminum cans to buy a hamburger???

 

[Geaux4it]

Now that even the slow-witted Trump has admitted that "who knew that health care reform would be so hard"........it is time for democrats to use the single-payer option as the benchmark of what we must enact have a BETTER and CHEAPER health care insurance plan to cover EVERYBODY (remember that it was Trump who listed those 3 factors that I've place in caps as the reason for voting for him.)

The rest of the civilized planet has long adopted the single-payer system.....and the option has proven cheaper with other countries' citizens having longer lives and less morbidity.

Who would LOSE under such a single payer system???
Insurance companies' CEOs and their board members.

Who would WIN under such a single payer system???
ALL of us.....

No thanks

Single payer healthcare is a failure around the world......japan, Europe, Australia...single payer systems are out of money, out of Doctors and their treatment sucks........

Single payer is healthcare in name only....the only ones who like it are the people too young to need it...

Why do you want all American citizens on the Veterans Administration Healthcare system?..since that is the quality they will have if we ever go to single payer.....

The moron NEVER, EVER takes responsibility for anything.

Is the question, 'How most quickly to get the federal deficit to 20 Trillion?'

Here, mull this over:

United States

> Health expenditure per capita: $8,713
> Expenditure as a pct. of GDP: 16.4%
> Obesity rate: 35.3%
> Life expectancy: 78.8

VERSUS

Sweden

> Health expenditure per capita: $4,904
> Expenditure as a pct. of GDP: 11.0%
> Obesity rate: 11.7%
> Life expectancy: 82.0

Countries spending the most on health care

Swede.....their healthcare system is collapsing......

Crisis situation at Swedish hospitals | eurotopics.net

Expressen is dismayed by the conditions in a country that calls itself a welfare state:

“Not even children are spared in this crisis. At Stockholm's new Karolinska Hospital a third of the beds are empty and one in ten of the operations on children has been cancelled this year. ... The acute problem is the shortage of nurses. It is forcing hospitals to leave beds unused. ... Never before has so much money been allocated to the healthcare system, but it is being misused. The Social Democrats in Stockholm want people to come to the polyclinics for regular health checks.

In other words completely healthy people use up resources that can barely cover the needs of the sick.

The chronic crisis is undermining trust in the politicians. The question is whether Sweden can continue calling itself a social welfare state when children are dying unnecessarily.”

--------

In Aftonbladet's view the situation is above all the result of poor decisions at the political level:

“Sweden has the fewest hospital beds per capita in Europe. So it's no wonder voters always put healthcare at the top of the list when asked what topics they see as most important. ... It's the politicians who have pushed health into the shadows. There was a time when the minister for social affairs was just as important as the finance minister. ... Then along came [the conservative government] and gave the smallest party [the Christian Democrats] the responsibility for healthcare. And this trend has continued under the Social Democrats. ... Sweden's public healthcare needs a crisis committee and a minister who can overhaul the entire system.”

Sure.....and that's because their PROVINCES pay for the health deliveries in the U.S.........So, a Canadian says to his wife.....honey, want to parlay a week in Florida while I get my prostate checked out???"

here's what a Canadian wrote......

I love these questions from Americans. I live in Vancouver, on the west coast about 2 hours north of Seattle.


Healthcare - We pay monthly in BC to our medical system. It is called BC medical and, right now, it is $232…for a family of four. They just announced April 1st they are cutting it in half. Hence, any extended healthcare, including dental, is generally less than $200.00 per month and that pays for your prescriptions, therapists, eye-care and a host of other services. So…what are the restrictions on using our healthcare system….none! Ambulance…paid, need prosthetics…paid, need 5 years of aftercare and therapy…paid. By the way, we are just starting construction on our 5th new hospital in 15 years…free to use of course. So what does this get you. Our Vancouver General Cancer research center is one of the top 5 in the world. Our UBC hospital houses the premier genealogical research facility in the world.
