The reason why we don't have universal healthcare

36. Very few doctors are in solo practices today,

the management and overhead costs make it just too expensive. They can't provide a competitive benefit package to attract and retain a top staff, and they can't afford the expensive equipment and trained technicians that are routinely available in most full service clinical settings.

Large, for profit clinics have replaced the independant family doctor. They are not a 'private industry', but huge publically traded corporations with shareholders demanding bigger pay offs every year. Before Obamacare the administrative costs vs actual patient care was whatever those companies said it was, and the patients got less so the profits got bigger... I'd be more wary of that.

The fallacy of a 'marketplace' and affordable healthcare is a great hoax. Whether a corporation pays the doctor the salary or the check comes from some government agency, they both are going to try to cut costs, but only one of them diverts money from sick people to rich people. Non-profit is the only logical solution.
