But for the MD's corrupt union (AMA), medical care would be affordable.


Well, let's see...
How much of the health-care dollar spent by a U.S. citizen goes to pay
MD's?

Vito believes it's a lot.
It's actually about 6%.


.... Socialized versus
free trade medicine? BS! It's a monopoly. When did you last see MDs or
hospitals advertising *price* like say car dealers.


Maybe that's why medical tourism is a booming business, doctors in
Mexico & India will perform operations much much cheaper than here in
the U.S.

And you also have the option of choosing health care from other
providers than MDs, if you're serious.

The solution is not to have the government pay these exorbitant prices, it
is to break up AMA and tar and feather all its policy makers.


Yeah, those darn greedy doctors have seriously corrupted the gov't
with all their lobbying dollars.... not like the lawyers & the pharm
co's....

Hey Vito, if a clue comes up and tries to jump in your pocket, run
away screaming!
