    I have had something like it with my doctors. Talking about how bad the healthcare system is and not seeing a single payer as a good option without providing any other good option. My doctors are conservatives though that think lowering taxes is going to help them. They don’t seem to get in the current system they pay the highest taxes because they don’t increase them for anyone doing better for them (bussiness owners of a certain size or larger)

      You never had such a conversation, no doctor ever said anything like that to you, and I’m fairly certain that all happened in your head during a shower.

      Why do people make up such unbelievably bad stories to tell on social media? Like if you’re 16 or 17 I get it but you’re not are you? You’re an adult. Making up stories for brownie points from strangers.

        Sorry dude I have. Also had a doctor who asked me if I was married and I said no and so felt there is no need to discuss birth control them. Im sorry your experience in life is different than other peoples and you can’t even imagine circumstances or relationships that can be different than what you have experienced.

        Woosh? I’m paraphrasing for comedic effect, but the sentiment was the same. I brought up socialized medicine and the doctor bemoaned medicare because the payouts to are too low. “I can’t run a business on medicare patients.” Is probably closest to what one actually said. You gotta read between the lines.

          Have i had a conversation wherein my doctor told me how their wealth is why my Healthcare costs are so high?

          No. Because that’s not why Healthcare costs are so high, and because doctors aren’t some stereotypical stuck up flaunting how they bilk their patients, for fucks sake. Grow up.

            Doctors aren’t a different species my dude, they have the same capacity for assholery.

            The AMA is officially opposed to a single payer system. I can’t make it any clearer than that. The body of and for doctors thinks the problem is that we just need to get more insurance. Sure there are some who oppose that, and it’s maybe even close to 50/50, but that still leaves a lot of doctors who like the status quo.
