The happy ending of your dreams . . .
I'd recommend listening to the show. His description of his Indian Ayurvedic treatment is pretty interesting. Said he thought it was sort woo-woo at first but he can't argue with the results.

Do we really need yet another health care thread where more knowledgeable people have to debunk myths like these? It's getting quite tiring. Please point out where in the health reform bill it says you will not be able to choose your doctor or which country with a public health plan has that kind of restriction. I do know that with my private insurance here in the US I'm limited to a small, local network of doctors unless I want to pay mostly out of my own pocket. From what I know in the other countries with "socialized" medicine, there are no such limited networks. If you really want to choose your own doctor, you should want a public health insurance option that's accepted nationwide. I know I do.

Every discussion I have heard on the matter leads me to believe there is credibility to the suggestion that you won't be able to choose your own doctor. Obama can't force my doctor, for a real example to treat his welfare babies, just as he can't force him now to accept Medicaid patients, which he does not. |

I sue insurance companies and drug companies as well, and have never heard his name come up as such. What gives you such great insight? You in the biz, too?

You have crappy insurance. I get to chose my doctor, my kids doctors, and my wife's doctor, no matter where they are or what they cost and insurance picks up the tab. When my father had cancer, he got to go to MD Anderson in Houston, and his insurance picked up everything but the airfare and he lives in NC. I myself was treated for flesh eating bacteria contracted out of the Gulf of Mexico by a Duke Med school infectious disease specialist that I had heard of. Again, minus the plane ticket and the $25 copay, which all our family doctors waive out of professional courtesy. Myth my ass--you guys need to get out in the world beyond your links and see how things work in person. |

Is Wiki that thing where socially mal-adjusted armchair world savers spend all day contributing their vast energy putting together explanations of stuff on the internet? Maybe someone needs to tell the Irish Health Minister about that thing! He'd likely be shocked!! |

I believe that's just your own paranoid mind or maybe Fox News talking heads telling you that. I've seen ZERO evidence suggesting you won't be able to choose your own doctor. Please provide such evidence if it exists as I'd really like to see it, or stop spreading such misinformation.

I've said it before, we have a health care system one of whose primary aims is avoiding sick people. This business of collecting premiums and then denying care based on some arcane triviality is just a bit repugnant. This while various HMO execs amass 9 figure fortunes. Some Rr pol recently said that po' folk can just go to an ER and get help. Oh boy, he misses the point, which is, we have socialized medicine from hell right now -- costly and not real effective.
