2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders supporters, do you still support him if he asks you to help pay for his policy platform? [View all]questionseverything
(9,651 posts)136. i am not advocating that they "cannot" treat anyone but that they must treat all
should docs not treat someone because they are of color,or the wrong religion,or social class? i would think not so why draw the line at the ability to pay?
i am guessing there would still be a purely commercial medical field dealing with cosmetic surgeries for doctors that are only docs to make a fortune....
socialism and communism are not the same
socialism's time concerning medical has come, we were ready when obama was elected and we are more ready now
some things are just too important for capitalism

"This one" posed a legitimate question. That you don't like it doesn't make it a "waste of time".
