If you like your doctor you can keep your whining to yourself. The new American healthcare: Only the rich get doctors.

[Stormy Daniels]

A lot of people put the blame on schools being unable to push out enough people. That's definitely a big part of the problem. But that really means that it's the educational system as a whole that is failing our country. We need more medical schools. We need more nursing schools. We need them to be accessible. And we need a greater emphasis on training people to do boots on the ground care positions, as opposed to elitist and corporatist research positions.

Also, we need to abolish health insurance outside of catastrophic care, so that the private health care sector can become a healthy market once again.

Affluent people will be able to retain a personal physician through exclusive “concierge medicine” services. But here’s what others can expect: routine visits with a rotating cast of nurses and physician assistants with increasingly spare and online checkups with doctors.

No one’s promising you can keep your doctor anymore

Laughably false.

We write off millions a year because the poor won’t pay our hospital system. And they see doctors, nurses, specialists, allied health providers, clergy we partner with, admins, technicians, etc...

Aging/dying Boomers soaking up resources.

It'll be a mess for a few years, but in 10, nearly half will be gone, and in 20, nearly all.

That's when affordable healthcare could at least theoretically happen, including socialized medicine.

I am fine with nurses and PA's for routine care. I actually think pharmacists should be able to prescribe common drugs for common ailments as well. Anyway, the government indirectly controls the number of doctors churned out every year by using medicare to fund residencies. It becomes a cap on how many new practicing doctors we get.

This guy can go to the camps for his meds. Wait in line with the homeless.

When I go to my doctors I see a bunch of goddamn Hispanics that can't speak English so must be Illegals and a bunch of fat ass diabetes inflected Negro welfare queens.

Those are the ones that because of the filthy ass government welfare system are putting burden on the health care system for the paying customers.

We need to do away with all welfare, including health care welfare.

That is done by the WEF as another attack on America and Americans.

The older generation always require more health care than the younger.

When I was in my prime earning years it was the Greatest Generation that were the health care burden. Many of them being treated for cancer and heart problems stemming from smoking their entire adult lives.

Or I can drive about 2 miles to the doc in the box, wait in line, see the NP or PA and be on my way to the pharmacy that will give me a day's supply and then have to make 3 or 4 more trips over the coming week to get my full script because of drug shortages that were aggravated by The Orange Man.

So Obamacare was a ponzi scheme

Heath care is a commodity just like anything else.

Welfare is wrong no matter how it is packaged.

Why should I have to work to provide your health care? You should pay your own bills. If you are too sorry to be productive enough to pay for your heath care then that is your problem, not mine.

What are you, twelve? "Wait for them to die" is not a solution to a failing healthcare system, it's a symptom of it.

Gee how many people are here that shouldnt be and how much of their cost is on you and how does this affect wait times? In my thirties and up until few yrs ago I could get in within a day or two. now its 2-3 weeks minimum. Also used to be able to see a specialist without a referral, simply make an appt.

Its because we are the only 1st world nation without medical healthcare.
