Physicians for Single Payer
Posted: Jul 24, 2017
The program would be funded by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer, and by modest new taxes based on ability to pay. Premiums would disappear; 95 percent of all households would save money. Patients would no longer face financial barriers to care such as co-pays and deductibles, and would regain free choice of doctor and hospital. Doctors would regain autonomy over patient care. The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act, H.R. 676, based on PNHP’s AJPH-published Physicians’ Proposal, would establish an American single-payer health insurance system.;
I posted this same article not long ago and - it will get criticized by
[ In Reply To ..]right-sided readers. I think it is a good idea though.
28 large insurance co, plus MC, MA and VA - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Would make things a lot simpler and cut out all that wasted money paying for those CEOs and Boards.
Medicare is already going bankrupt. When you think - socialized, think govt run hospitals
[ In Reply To ..]and health organizations.
Socialized medicine it's about liberty and individual rights. When the government forces one group of people to take care of another group of people we all lose some liberty.
Monied interests have fought for a long time to keep our - tax money going to THEM
[ In Reply To ..]instead of health care that ALL could choose and afford. I would rather pay my insurance premium to a program that would allow me to also USE health care. MY taxes should be going towards something I can actually use, not to CEOs and companies who enjoy huge profit that the majority of tax payers are forced to provide for those few.
OK, cut their salaries to $20,000 a year and see how they - like it then. Socialized medicine
[ In Reply To ..]frequently sets doctor pay. The effect is that the system appears to offer lower cost to patients than in the free market. What's happens is that the system burns through huge amounts of money to pay workers to do bureaucratic paperwork, etc. Not to mention the cost keep rising. Look at college as an example. They charge whatever they want because the govt will pay.
People always think that a doctor is rich, think again, 60% of patients are on Medicare or Medicaid, or both. Both of these agencies have reduced physician's income drastically.
There are over 800,000 licensed physicians of medicine in this great country and these few get all the press. Give me a break!
These docs overwhelmingly don't want - Trumpcare
[ In Reply To ..]http://www.cmsdocs.org/news/survey-physician-attitudes-shift-to-single-payer
I'm sure they don't count either..they are in Chicago
I read a similar article signed by over 7000 physicians. Since we have - That's less than 1% of docs in this country.
[ In Reply To ..]So how do all the others feel? Not the AMA because it has been politicized.
How many docs who support it are in academia or the public health sector? I bet if you dig deep you'll find the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation or PSR involved in this.
What does the flip side of the coin say?

Single Payer For AllJul 26, 2017
If we really want single payer it makes sense to include items that will reduce the cost for everyone. 1. We need to remove malpractice insurance and malpractice lawsuits. If we left these in place we'd force doctors to practice defensive medicine. Anyone complaining of intercostal muscle strain must be kept overnight in the hospital and submit to a battery of tests to rule out a heart problem. 2. Speaking of heart problems... Most of those are due to a bad diet (not to mention obesi ...

For all the people who want a socialized health care system (i.e. single payer system), it's not what you think it is.

Mass Exodus Of PhysiciansJun 26, 2016
This article on the mass exodus of physicians post Obamacare is a few years old, but I found the Comments section quite interesting. Docs describe "feeling like slaves," a new low record of visit time (30 seconds), etc. With only 1 or 2 exceptions, these docs HATE EHR and the time that it consumes (which is why so many have/are retired/retiring). They also talk about the onerous regulations that the feds have placed on them, plus the shrinking reimbursements. Not new in genera ...

Sometimes I'd rather be single instead of being yelled at for some things that are out of my control. I have worked so hard today.

He's been back to our state (his whole family lives in my town) once in the last 4 months and that was for 4 days to get married. When he got into town he picked up our son ...

Some lamented the inconvenience of the change and others were alarmed at what that means for post office employees. Not many, though, tied the matter to race or gender. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) was apparently one of them. He explained on MSNBC: ...
