What makes you think that all the doctors in place today are going to disappear overnight if universal health plans take effect? I know mine is going to be around until he retires, which I hope is after I kick. I've had him for years. The specialists, the ancillary services like PT, etc. Where do you think those people are going to go? It's ludicrous.Healthcare is very much tied up in that now that medicine is more than leeches and potions made in the backroom from roots. Everyone should be able to walk into a doctor's office and receive care without worry about having enough left to buy groceries.
One point that Libs and other Marxists never bring into question is who will be able to see QUALITY health care providers and who will be stuck seeing mediocre physicians who don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. The liberal theorem is that all doctors are equal is absurd.
I had a job for years with the medical association, so I know how doctors in private practice think. They worked really hard and spent money up the wazoo to get a medical degree and training. They are going to charge as much as they can get away with and enjoy making millions--most doctors do--but the student loans, the astronomical malpractice insurance, overhead for their offices, red tape trying to collect from insurance companies.....it isn't a walk in the park, either.
The docs will still be here and they won't have lost their abilities because Uncle Sam is reimbursing them.
The government will be telling them who they have to provide services too as well.
Those who aren't of High Quality, will still be around, those who really know their shit, will be available only to well-connected political operatives. Right now, the Maha Rushdie is undergoing a health crisis. What chance would he have that he could get a quality doctor as a senior citizen and a dissident if Sanders was ruling?
