Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? ......Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight.
Yeah. Nobody knows more about health care than doctors. Reagan understood this. We must heed the doctors call....we must, as Reagan said, realize the doctor's fight is our own:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than half of U.S. doctors now favor switching to a national health care plan and fewer than a third oppose the idea, according to a survey published on Monday.
How about that. Doctors know best. Just like Reagan said.
No one knows better than doctors how we spend more on health care than any other country in the world. How we could take the money we spend on Medicaid and Medicare alone, make a Xerox copy of the Canadian health care system, cover every person in this country, and have cash left over.
Read that last sentence again. I just solved this country's health care crisis in 29 words. Christ I'm a genius.
For those of you who are gonna tell me now about how much the Canadian health care system sucks, you can do so just as soon as you can find a Canadian who'll trade their heath coverage for whatever card you're carrying around in your pocket. Go ahead and look. Until you find one, we'll just work off the assumption that me and most of the doctors in this country are right. Reagan knew you could trust me and the doctors. Not the Physician's Assistants though. No matter what their position on national health care, I'm not sure I'll ever trust a Physician's Assistant.
So will you make yourself aware? Please? Then convey that information to family and friends? Like Reagan would have wanted you to? Will you follow your doctor's prescription before it's too late?
On everything else Reagan was wrong though.
Thanks to the alert reader who tipped me to the doctor survey.
