A doctor who won't take any insurance or Medicare? Yank their license, plus imprisonment.

18. I don't know much about doctors and their procedures. I do however have a relative who is a dentist.

Sometimes people forget the doctor has expenses also. They have to pay for their own equipment which is expensive to stay up to date. They have to pay their employees. My relative said she would love to get health insurance for her staff but she just can't afford it. Their insurance fees are very high if something happens to a patient and they sue. She has been lucky she never has been. Here is the kicker for her. Two years ago she had to have her breast removed for cancer. You can see how having to worry about that and all her employees will not be working. She had another dentist working for her but he went on to further his education. That happened about the same time. She couldn't afford to stay out to long. Finally she was lucky enough to find a dentist who only wanted to work a couple of days. Once she was feeling better she was able to work 3 days a week. She went back to work little early. But everything was on her shoulders. So I can see a doctor's point of view. But still patients need care and I think its a right everyone should have. There has to be a way everyone rich or poor gets healthcare.
