When doctors are miserable, patients suffer

I Was a Physician at a Federally Qualified Health Center. Here's Why I No Longer Believe Government Health Care Can Work

When doctors are miserable, patients suffer.

In my medical training, a fellow physician tried to convince me that my liberal leanings on health care were misguided. While I firmly believed that the government had an important role in providing access to medical care—particularly to the underserved—my colleague argued that the government’s role in, well, anything, should be practically nonexistent.

I remained firm in my conviction. After all, I grew up in a rural area where many residents, including my own family, received their health care from county health departments and government clinics. My lifelong dream was to become a physician and one day join one of these agencies to provide health care to needy patients. The best way to do that, it seemed to me, was to work in a clinic created for that very purpose—a Federally Qualified Health Center.

The government meddled in our healthcare system until they drove costs above what most people can pay...then they ride in and promise to make things better...forgetting they were the entity that messed it up in the first place...we used to be able to pay the doctor directly...now there is a bunch of hands in the way that need to get paid first...that is what raised the cost...Government and insurance companies get their share before your doctor does....

.Government and insurance companies get their share before your doctor does....

That's why we should get rid of the health insurance companies over a 10 year period
and eventually have a single-payer healthcare system .

Almost impossible to find a Dr in private practice these days.....and people are surprised prices went up. Plus ya have to pay for the secretary that now follows the Dr everywhere.

Why kill yourself with 8 years of college and a mountain of debt when you can get an Associate's degree in nursing in 2 years and open your own practice. These mini-healthcare express places are everywhere now.

Funny thing is if I'm going to pay Dr prices I'd like to see an actual Dr. ...not a nurse practitioner or anything else

True, except that 9 out of 10 times, if it's something serious a doctor is going to send you to a specialist anyway .

I haven't been to the doctor since I had a hernia repair surgery in May of 2009 and quit smoking
cigarettes 2 months later ( July 4th it's been 10 years) and I haven't been sick since.

The cure for everything.

Health insurance should be deregulated ...just like auto
