"as if". As in she thinks it is wrong to assume that a doctors primary motive is money. Some? Sure. Most? I highly doubt it. Worse is the fact that this nonsense seems to eb an official government position... Who in the hell does he think we are?

During my 35 years so far, i've been in and out of the medical system quite a bit. Being a hockey player and an outdoorsman. I can honestly say I have never felt as if they were rushing me through anything in the name of money. WERE they? Maybe. But if they were, so what? I got the care I needed and they made the money they earned.


Now, of course something needs to change. The article you shared as case in point. But my God.... Have you read what they want to do? Why not bring the hammer down on insurance companies? Why not REQUIRE employers to provide some sort of coverage to employees? Why not REQUIRE insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions? Why does government always think they are the answer?

The government either knows and does not care... Or, as I suspect, so bloody arrogant and out of touch as to REALLY think that the massive uproar over this issue is "fake" or "astro turfed". Made worse by, rather than trying to convince us of their plan's merits, they try to sidestep and shut it down.
