So, I don't think that it is right for anyone who doesn't know about the profession to be bad mouthing doctors just because they make more than the average person, and because they are against universal health care since it would make their jobs a lot more difficult for less pay.

Well I asked my wife the same thing and apparently some do and some dont. Just like most other jobs. There are so many specialists that make far too much money, and so many GP's who work their butt's off and dont make enough. There are many rural areas that need GP's badly. But everyone wants to be some sort of specialist. And the bottom line is they need to want to take care of folks.

The AMA is a union for Doctors, not patients.
Most teachers unions are for teachers, not students.

this is all FDR's fault. employers had to offer benefits to attract employees because taxes were at 90% or something evil like that.

then everyone didn't care how much it cost because they had/ have insurance

and the government loves that everything is going up. They get a percentage you know.

but now friends of uncle Joe want to kill the golden goose

i'm getting a ph.d. in something important and my mom invented both medical school and socialism.

that's just in case anyone questions my credentials.

anyone who posts below this has a serious mental illness. those who posted above should have their blood sugar levels checked.

If we have a serious mental illness, can we be covered by socialized medicine?

Will there be group rates???
