If Docs, you don't seem to have a lot a lot of respect for folks who kept their grades up through high school so they could get into 8 years of college and make daily decisions that affect whether other people live or die?
the docs are caught right in the middle [as we are]
Health insurance stinks because of the lack of competition, not because it needs to be a single payer system. IF they had simplified a single national standard for coverage and a national pool for indigents covered by every private company they could have solved 90% of the issues and kept it from becoming the government disaster it will be in 5 years.
it has already become a "disaster"... it's an economic issue of drastic proportions. that's why the government had to do something. that it's a monopoly. I already mentioned that.
The other thing to do would be to require conversion of all medical insurance to be provided by mutual companies funded by members and having profits refunded to members rather than stockholders and board members. I'm a capitalist, but insurance should be for the public good and not profit motive.

careful, now....you're starting to sound "socialist."
