    I'm not rich and I have access to those same facilities. My son just had opened heart surgery in one of those facilities in February!

    That's because they can both *LIE* on their statistics, as is common.
    AND, when people are given appointments for medical issues that would have a 50/50 chance of survival *HERE*, by the appointment the people are *DEAD* and *SHAZAM!* The system didn't have the death listed because they weren't "receiving treatment"!

    Why should we be dependent on government for healthcare? What track record does government have that would make you trust government as if it were some benevolent institution? Have you ever known government to abuse people?

    Except that argument doesn't hold up. When you look at the data for OECD countries in healthcare, countries that have some sort of government health care tend to, on average, have MORE doctors in relation to their populations, not less. Those countries also pay less for health care and get better results. I would also like to point out that Obamacare has already started to take affect and we still have doctors.

    Great job lying. It was not a Redstate survey.


    The survey was conducted by the Doctor Patient Medical Association Foundation. 699 doctors responded.

    The source given was from RedState. RedState's source is a completely different matter. Also, 699 doctors isn't a very good sample size to try and obtain a consensus of doctors in the U.S. when you consider that, according to the BLS, there are over 690,000 doctors in America. That survey basically says "Lets survey slightly over .1% of doctors and then claim that their opinions are indicative of the U.S. as a whole!" Hardly a reliable survey.

    Oh, and the source that you are claiming is reliable and nonbiased is a member of both the National Tea Party Federation and ALEC. That is about as far as you get from objective and non-partisan. So next time you call me a liar, make sure you check your facts.

    Then why does England have such a higher cancer death rate?
    Does England have different strains of cancer, or is it the lack of equal treatment?

    My wife's OB doctor quit on June 29th.
    Now when was that Court ruling that ObamaKare was Constitutional again?

    I guess we had better start watching more DR. shows or learning how to take better care of ourselves because the Doctors will quit or retire because of obamacare.

    So you want DR's with the best training in the world replaced by third world Dr's? There is a very good reason that anyone that can afford it comes here for medical care. Dr's in countries with socialized medicine are not as good as the Dr's here. That will end with Obamacare.

    Even if the doctors don't quit, I don't see where having a D.C. panel deciding what health care we can receive from our doctor can be any improvement for anyone.
    Besides, the way things are going, bHo and gang will probably forbid the doctors to quit. socialist medicine
