In reply to the discussion: Dr. Oz Says Uninsured Have No 'Right to Health' [View all]Aristus
(72,523 posts)41. I know he's supposed to be this world-class cardiologist.
But what the hell kind of doctor thinks a health-maintenance physical exam can be done thoroughly in just fifteen minutes? My annual physical exams are a minimum of thirty minutes, and can run to close to forty-five minutes, depending on the patient. I always schedule annual physicals for last appointment of the morning, or last appointment of the day, so there are no other patients waiting, and I can do a good thorough job. (And also so I can take a break afterwards; they can be tiring.)
What a monster. "Don't have a right to health." What a vile thing to believe.

A single risk pool is a health care system. Multiple risk pools is an investment scheme.
