Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

"Is there a trial lawyer in the house?"

Coulter:

The only "crisis" in health care in this country is that doctors are paid too little. (Also they've come up with nothing to help that poor Dennis Kucinich.)

But the Democratic Party treats doctors like they're Klan members. They wail about how much doctors are paid and celebrate the trial lawyers who do absolutely nothing to make society better, but swoop in and steal from the most valuable members of society.

Maybe doctors could get the Democrats to like them if they started suing their patients.

Read the whole thing.

There is a noticeable lack of physician incentives in any of the plans floating around. Wonder if they will bring back the doctor draft if enough opt out of the national plan? What will they do when cross border clinics/hospitals open in Mexico or the islands? What will happen when physicians decide their talents are best used in administration, teaching and research?

Good points, but very hypothetical. The people won't go for govt medicine.

They said that about Government Cheese too. The lure of "free" bread and circuses is powerful.
