OK,then have the Legislators make available THEIR insurance to everybody, have,suggest,make 'em,(the Czars,the Prez,state&Fed reps) pay the visit costs so the Medical Docs can pay back the many,many thousands of dollars(you heard me) it took to learn what lots of people seem to think they should be provided for free. Make sense to you,really??? Oh,don't forget the peeps who abuse their bods and get 'em fixed only to screw em up once,twice again.FUBAR.

This Health care reform is going to be medicaid. Substandard health care aimed at the poor working class of people that makes $10.00 or less an hour, it as bad as going to the E.R. and dropping dead in the lobby waiting to see a doctor. The reform should include the same insurance our goverment has that our tax dollars are paying for, but we ourselves donot have. How do they expect anyone with the salary above to afford insurance that will be mandatory and live and pay bills at the same time? It will not do for anyone without a six digit figure of income or more.

Seriously, blaming health care reforms before they come into effect for more people getting care and causing a dr shortage. Really? That's what gets griped about? That more people get care?

“Build it and they will come” (PCP’s). If they do not, Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants will fill the gap. The population vs. the population of Primary Care Physicians (PCP’s) is not really going to change – what they are saying (PCP’s) is that they do not like what they perceive the Medicaid reimbursement will be.

BULLSHIT!
By restricting insurance beaurocracy, costs go down & DOCTORS MAKE MORE MONEY.
Altruism aside, we are still a Capitalist society.
