Showing Original Post only (View all)my doctor and health care. [View all]
saw my doc friday. to make a long story short he's a liberal dem but is disappointed that obama didn't do a better job of making sure the ACA website was working. he said "we should have gone all the way -- universal healthcare". i said "medicare for all"? he said "yes". we talked about how medicare would be saved with younger people buying in.
i mentioned how some docs will not take medicare. i said "it's not illegal -- but it's unethical". he agreed with me.
he's a kind and caring doc and i'm fortunate to have him.
