Actually you are wrong on several counts. Years ago a friend of mine arranged her trip to Britain so her kid would be born on the NHS rather than pay cash (no health plan job in the US). BTW spend some time reading T R Reid's book on healthcare--he has some interesting facts.Now as to not accepting Medicare, that is a simple itewm. No doctor will practice long in the US without a DEA license to write prescriptions--make it conditional on agreeing to accept Medicare-game over. So the $300k a year doctors leave--NO LOSS. BTW there are and have been for years foreign trained DRs who would be happy to practice here. We restrict them as a way of supporting high prices for care--we let in the foreign trained nurses as strike breakers. To hear the capitalists tell it we HAVE enough hospital beds, so capacity is not the issue. As to rationing, we HAVE it now--its called health insurance. Ever read about the bonuses handed out to the clerks who denied the most care requests within a company? These are the people who need to change to a socially useful job. Okay, I need to go cut some weeds in my backyard now. |
