@nihilvt @admin i've been saying for a while now that completely free health care would be 100% doable if we didn't have our dick in everyone else's business. this is ridiculous.

You know what would seriously cut costs... get rid of prescription requirements for common drugs, like insulin, statins, etc. Making doctors Gate keepers is itself a type of tax on health.

Imagine if GPs had to convince people to use them. The prices would come down. Instead, they get paid by buckets of insurance money and the prices go up.
@Humpleupagus @beardalaxy @admin @nihilvt How incredibly antisemitic. Next you're gonna tell people that if they're organ donors and they become terminally incapacitated they are killed by doctors to collect the organs and israeli citizens get first crack at American organs.
I have two doctors:

> Jewish Doctor: Your cholesterol is 6 points above range. You need lipitor. You also need all of these other test.

> Run my labs through American Heart Associations battery. 3.3% chance of heart disease in 30 years, as all other indicators are golden.

> Tell doctor... go fuck yourself.

> Spanish Doctor, same labs: Your labs look fine. You feel good? Yeah? Ok... see you in a year.
I mean... the likelihood of severe side effects from lipitor alone exceeds 3%.
'Is he/she/it a jew' has become one of the first hurdles that must be passed. It's just not worth the risk to do business with them.
Here for GP it's either jews or pajeets. All the White doctors left. It's really not much of a choice. My Spanish Doctor is out of network, and merely a result of chance.
