Say bye, bye to the best and brightest going to medical school. A huge percentage of today's doctors would simply refuse to participate, or they'd retire tomorrow.
That would be a catastrophe of the highest order.
I understand your concerns and attempted to address such in this thread; nonetheless, the only way the federal government controls the health care system is if they control the entirety of the health care system and not just a small fraction of it. In other words, if the government owned hospitals, medical training facilities (i.e., medical universities), and actually paid doctor's salaries AND controlled pharmacuetical companies, I could understand your fears. It's this path towards complete and utter control that has alot of people worried. But fear not. That's not what's happening here with health care reform legislation.
The only thing this bill attempts to do is broaden access to health insurance, set fair and equitable standards in health insurance policies at varying benefit levels, and ensure that everyone receives health care at fair market prices. The fed isn't setting the cost of health care in any way, shape or form. It's just attempting to ensure that those who do have health insurance aren't paying threw the nose for it because the health care industry has manipulated the cost of insurance, treatment services and medicines and made it so expensive that not everyone can get insurance.
Let's keep it in perspective...
