Hmm, if she pays her PREMIUMS to a private, for profit, company, and pays twice as much for the same benefits as from a government backed, NOT for profit, plan, that costs less than half as much, how “burdensome” is that?
Copays would still apply on some elements, just as they do with Medicare.
Now when the folks Mitt fired to make his millions at Bain have to reach out to him for some support, he just gives his donations to “the church” instead, so they can build another mall. Yup, watching out for number one!
Don’t forget the really big ticket items like: pay for oil company subsidies, pay to make up for those tax cuts to the rich, pay for weapons systems that don’t work, pay for wars that enrich military contractors while killing innocents, pay for industrial pollution cleanup, pay for… oh, forget it! You get the real picture.
I don’t think that medical professionals wanting to leave because of Obamacare is solely or even primarily about the money. I think it is even more about the loss of autonomy and the ability to use their own judgement about which tests need running, etc.
^Essentially, they would like to see a single payor system. Unlike the myths we have here about Europe and Canada, a reformed health and education system could be more beneficial.
In Russia being a doctor was a lowly job because it didn’t pay well. I can imagine how good their care was. Very few will go through all the work and college strictly motivated by helping mankind.
Surveys show Obamacare is overwhelmingly supported by doctors. A significant percent – I believe it’s about 25% – want a single payer system. One reason is that they find government bureaucrats less annoying than insurance company bureaucrats.
Obamacare is also supported by insurance companies, drug companies, hospitals and patient groups. The only people opposed are either ideological driven or severely misinformed. I’ve yet to meet anyone in opposition who actually had a clue about what Obamacare actually was.

Pretty much spot on to what the “Julia” campaign is advocating.

Yet, that’s their demand while criticizing others. Isn’t that hypocrisy?-—I’m still suggesting fair taxation for all.

This guy Ramirez is really representing what we in “comunistic” Europe fear the most about the actual situation in the USA. God bless America! really!
