$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TommyJefferson', 'I') see more physicians bailing on the whole corrupt socialized medical system and going private.

No Medicaid.
No Medicare.
No Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

A return to the old ways. They charge just like a car mechanic does.
Diagnosis: $40
Tune-up: $200
Major Overhaul/Surgery: $2000

They save thousands of dollars and hours by going straight.


Not too mention, many hospitals were erected under the concept, "build it and they will come." So maybe making medical care more democratic and customer oriented will be a blessing in disguise? "Hey Doc, how much to fix the clap? If it is more than a divorce than just leave it fester?"
The organized state is a wonderful invention whereby everyone can live at someone else's expense.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MrBill', ' ')peak post oil [healthcare] it is probably an everyday luxury people will learn to live without. ...Needless procedures will not be affordable.


Very true. I work with a large state facility that cares for mentally retarded people.

One patient there receives $4,000 per DAY in *one* medicine. This patient is indigent, has an IQ below 20, and it not even self-aware. She does nothing all day but scream in pain and horror. For 36 years she's been a ward of the State doing nothing but that.

The Medical Director of that facility is one of my jiu-jitsu students. We talk. He will not risk his M.D. license by limiting her care. The patient's low-life white-trash family visit every 3 months and throw a fit that he "do everything!" to keep their "Little Angel from Heaven" alive.

It costs the family nothing. Medicare pays, so bring on the best! Big Pharma loves that facility. They also love socialized medicine. Just like with Bayer and Mercedes during the Third Reich, ...National Socialism equals Huge Profits!

This is one example. 100 more just like it exist in this one facility.
