Here's another statistic: Poll: Majority Of Doctors Support Public Option -- "Most doctors — 63 percent — say they favor giving patients a choice that would include both public and private insurance. That's the position of President Obama and of many congressional Democrats. In addition, another 10 percent of doctors say they favor a public option only; they'd like to see a single-payer health care system. Together, the two groups add up to 73 percent."link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?st...

"I quit when medicine was placed under State control...Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I would not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward...Men considered only the 'welfare' of the patient, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter, was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said only 'to serve'...See the rest: http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/

The remaining 55% won't make their malpractice insurance bill, unless you couple it with radical tort reform. Maybe we should have single-payer legal care, too.

He's quoting NPR. Heh. And Todd, ....whimper....yes.

Ned speaks truth. Hell, my malpractice (or equivalent) is a huge chunk of change, but not like theirs.

Hey, it's not like it's Amy Goodman and Democracy Now. I've been saving those statistics in reserve!

Already my company offers legal insurance; single payer legal services are next. Heck, why not have the government provide that, and they can be judge, jury, and attorney. Just don't run any red lights.
