Remember, lawyers make more money from the American health-care system
than doctors do. And the gov't wants to keep it that way.

Good line. And it would be truly scary if it were true.

One could quibble over accounting details, but the scary thing is that
lawyers *do* make more money from health care than doctors. For
example, check how many MDs are on insurance company payrolls, and how
many LLDs.

I sympathize with
the thought, however. There are too many law suits, including malpractice
suits.

Definitely.

OTOH there is too much malpractice. The question is, should your
health care risk (which is never zero, regardless of the procedure) be
turned into a lottery?

I got a better question, Doc. Where in the oath does it say every doctor
has to be a millionaire on the backs of the patient victims of the health
care system? Is $600/hour fair, $1200? $2400? .....to see a doctor
educated at PUBLIC expense?

How can they be fake? The Chinese make all "American Products" I use!

???

The only docs educated "at public expense" AFAIK is in the military,
and they fulfill a very rigorous set of obligations to pay it back.

Most MDs I am aware of enter practice with anywhere from $150K to
$500K of debt (very very very few with less, many with more).... often
to the gov't... also often to medical education foundations.

If you got a serious hate-on against doctors, that's a very simple
problem to solve. Don't ever go to one.
