   I do believe Obamachev will eventually take us there, he’s just smart enough to put us in the water while it’s still cold.

   Hmm, the water’s already luke-warm for some of us.

   The plan Obama proposed during the campaign would force people to buy private insurance, like the Massachusetts plan does. That’s stamping it in, not out. The “public option” will force out private insurers only if they can’t compete.

   lgm, Obama doesn’t have the authority to medal with the marketplace. It’s not in his job description. Therefore, the people and the states retain the right to run their own healthcare systems. When are you going to start defending the Constitution? You blamed Bush for gross violations, some of which I agree with. What about Obama trampling on the Tenth Amendment?? The postal service is Constitutional, Federal involvement with the medical and insurance industry is not.

   That is what we need more of. When they screw up make them pay through suspension or removal.

   One problem there is that courts (at least ones of which I know) are not the bodies that control licensing. You can take a verdict against a quack (or an incompetent lawyer or professional engineer) and you don’t touch their license.

   You get to an incompetent doc through his pocket, and that of his insurer. I know, it stinks in many respects, but that is how it is.

   No, but when you have shysters like John Edwards convincing juries that Doctors are responsible for something that was in God’s hands, good people lose.

   I agree…sort of and up to a point.

   I believe in juries, like I believe in democracy. Down in my toe-nails, and for the same reasons.

   That said, people can, do, and will make bad choices, based on all the wrong reasons. That goes with freedom. The other side of that coin is RESPONSIBILITY, or the ability to be exposed to the results of your bad choices.

   I have had some absolutely inexplicable jury decisions, which went against every fact and the law the jurors were given. They are VERY difficult for me to deal with, because I can’t understand them and can’t learn from them. Happily, the legal process allows a judge or appellate court to cancel out a run-away jury, and impose the law where they exceed it.

    This thread appears close to death, and lgm has slitheree away after enduring scathing criticism and rebuttal, but still, I will ask him:

    Lgm: If a college student knows his earnings will be severely capped by Obamacare, then why will he even bother to be a pre-med major, let alone undergo the years of medical training, with long hours, low pay and massive debts he will have to repay?

    Answer that, you miserable twit.

    Somehow, France, Germany, Canada, etc. have enough doctors. I think we’ll manage. Good question by the way. Maybe we’ll have to create a multi tier system where the primary care person is somewhere between a nurse and a doctor, with the people with really advanced training (and pay) doing only the very hard stuff.

    That’s a good idea no matter what system we have or create. However, we already have that: They’re called Nurse Practitioners. They see patients and prescribe medications, usually in primary care offices or some specialties, like endocrinology (diabetes care).

    I still don’t wish to see Obamacare, but that particular idea already works, we just have a shortage of them. Like the shortage of plain ole’ nurses.

    Eww…!!!

    I know…

    How about a system were we get to choose who will treat us, and how much we care to pay them?

    See, that is called “freedom“.

    You ought to think about trying it.

    Or at least letting others alone so they can.

    Doctors, but only in the sense that they may have once spent time in an advanced anatomy class and can sometimes ID a patient from a nurse in a waiting room.
    

    I think we’ll manage.

    Oh that’s pithy! Funny thing is, just a hundred years ago we were fine paying experienced doctors with fresh eggs and hand-churned butter – that is, until lawyers got involved w/ ambulance chasing!
    

    Maybe we’ll have to create a multi tier system where the primary care person is somewhere between a nurse and a doctor, with the people with really advanced training (and pay) doing only the very hard stuff.

    Or, we could end the law suit silliness and be just fine w/ what we have -
