The US government is in the money wasting business to support perpetual unearned interest payments to the Fed. Universal health care insurance is just another government scam to inflate costs and provide special entitlements to Wall Street, insurance, and pharmaceutical companies. This is one psychiatrist who has retired my license rather than play the lose-lose game of trying to provide common sense solutions to problems created by our crazy-making society. When you spend your money on insurance instead of services, as Medicare and Obama's plan will show, your only guarantee is you will pay every month. Insurance skims profits off the top and obstructs health care whenever possible. The idea that doctors are exploiting patients is a myth. Doctors are caught in the trap of debt and overhead, victims, too, of a system that pays all the wrong people to manage their health and lives. Congress needs to get out of the health care business or start writing the prescriptions. They can dictate universal health care, but they will drive doctors like me from the system, and access to doctors will be more and more difficult. Obama and Congress are practicing medicine without licenses, the training, or the understanding that health is the norm, not the exception, and feeding unhealthy attitudes and health profiteers will only collapse the US economy and debilitate its people that much faster.
