I'm sorry bro. That sounds like a bogus "fact". I'm not sure where you're getting your information from.

Since you said "if you research it"... I'm assuming YOU have researched it. So please, show us this research.

If I were a betting man, I would've been willing to bet my next paycheck that no such research really exists.

Gang, I hate to break up this blanket party, but we are losing more and more doctors because of issues with malpractice insurance and the costs involved with paperwork.

What about all the doctors from India and Pakistan that are coming here to work?

The problem is that we really don't have a free market healthcare system. It's already partially socialized. It's a hybrid and it has many problems because of government interference and now reliance.

I'll have to contact my friend, Jeff Luken, here in Dayton Ohio. He knows two doctors who are currently in the process of moving to Canada to practice medicine. They were telling us about the growing number of doctors leaving the US because of the rising cost of doing business and how the health care system is suffering from cost inflation. I'll see if Jeff can get me in contact and find their sources.

Quote:
Doctors spend way too much hiring other people to fill out paper work - and you're talking to a dad who spent most of this weekend in emergency rooms with two different injured teenagers.
Surely you're not denying this....this is one of the biggest complains among doctors. The expense to hire others to do so much paper work if they are going to practice. That need not be.

Quote:
And the Canadian MP's who get special government "favors" also go to San Francisco (Praise the Lord!) for their expensive surgeries.
The number of Canadians who came to the US for surgeries last year was under 4000, most seeking elective procedures that are not covered under their insurance system. Compare that to the 18,000 Americans who died last year (including my mother) because they didn't have the money to go to the doctor or receive the treatments they needed.

Quote:
Our health care ain't bad. I'm not wealthy or even close. In fact, I've been nearly homeless at times. But even with my own huge medical expenses - which have not resulted in huge medical bills for me - and 3 teenagers who tear themselves up going at life head on - I have no complaints.
And that's all that matters isn't it? Hey, everyone, news flash....pelathais, has had no problem with our system! The 18,000 who died last year because they couldn't afford to see a doctor or receive treatments aren't really dead...they are just whiners.

Quote:
Twice I had a kid taken into an emergency room this weekend while my wife and I were out. The kids took themselves in. No one withheld care asking for payment or proof of insurance. They received first rate medical care as if I personally owned the hospital. My youngest even got a warmed blanket to take home.
Why are your kids going to the ER? Either you guys have a lot of emergencies or you're one of those helping to drive up the cost of insurance by going to the ER so much. lol

This isn't so much for you, pelathais, I'm holding out that you had a ligitamate emergency. But if it's not truly an emergency....see a family doctor. Don't go to the ER.

I believe the Bible too - and get this, There always has been and always will be a "beast power that will attempt to enslave the world..." Where have you been for the last 7,000 years or so?

It's here and it's such old news that it's described in our ancient Scripture where we are warned about it and told how to overcome.

Wait a minute... politicians are corrupt??? When did this start? Oh wait... see above about "the last 7,000 years or so."

Yes, the reptillian shape-shifters from beyond. In fact - have you ever seen McCain and Hillary together - live? I don't mean some doctored photo or video on the alien controled FoxNews network. I mean have YOU ever seen them together at the same time? And look at those thighs on both of them.

If Obama stands his ground he could be one of America's great President...but I predict that they'll kill him. But they're now trying to find out if they can buy him.

We may not like Obama politically...but we have to pray that he doesn't sell out to the globalists who tried to rig this election.
So when Obama breaks your heart (as he will) you will complain that he was "bought" just like the others?

Here's a better theory - Heinlein's Law:

Never attribute to a conspiracy that which is adequately explained by sheer incompetence.

That is correct. Most don't realize that doctors don't have nearly as much expense in France than in the United States when it comes to paperwork and malpractice. The system in France is one of the best in the world.
