Just think Pat, if ALL physicians today just saw maybe 5% of patients absolutely Pro Bono (they do now, and probably more than 5%,  but it is because they are unfairly not reimbursed..I am talking about voluntary Pro Bono, from the get-go), we would not have half the crisis we do now.  
I thought that was what being a doctor was about. Helping people. Is it that they are greedy or just dont care.  I know there are more variables than just the 5%

We can come up with a Nationally "available" Health Care plan for all citizens, if all are willing to play ball, and it might not have to be run by government bureaucrats, who overspend and waste in so many other areas; I do understand your basis for resisting a National plan like Canada's.   There may be another way.  
Unfortunately it would be financed by the government and it matters some but not much that the government does not run it.. Whats scary here Eugene is the numbers that the politicians are throwing out numbers that are astronomical for these plans and you got to know they have to be lowball numers. Once we do this there will be no looking back and I just see it as one more thing in the polical machine
