Related: About this forum2,000 US doctors endorse Sanders' single-payer healthcare proposal
http://boingboing.net/2016/05/06/2000-us-doctors-endorse-sande.html An editorial in The American Journal of Public Health, signed by 2,000 MDs, endorses Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" single-payer healthcare system.
The doctors point to the failings in Obamacare -- namely, that it is still expensive, especially for low-income Americans, and it allows private insurers to cream off enormous profits -- and estimates that the proposal could be funded by eliminating the bureaucratic inefficiencies of commercial healthcare insurance and by restoring progressive taxation to the very wealthy.

I applaud them for being more concerned about their patients than their feels.
