and what insurance companies do. You get paid for what you actually DO. Medical insurance companies get paid for what they actually don't DO. What we (the people on the left) want is to take the insurance companies OUT of the equation. Wouldn't it be easier for you to deal with only one source for payment? Wouldn't it be easier for you to be able to see patients BEFORE their illness turns serious or deadly? Wouldn't it be easier for you to give the care that your patients need without having to talk to an insurance company first, to find out what tests, drugs or treatment that they will not allow you to do? Wouldn't it be easier for you if you only had ONE type of form to fill out for payment?
Just think, you could have a flu shot day or a school vaccination day and only have ONE type of form to fill out for reimbursement instead of 20 types of forms. That would make it much easier for you, and more profitable. And, all of those rural farmers could be covered too. If everyone was covered it would make it much easier for people to seek help, without feeling like the are "welfare" cases.
Doctors in countries that have "socialized" medicine don't live in poverty. They live a very comfortable life, and their lives are less stressful, as they can put their patients first. They get to live the reason why they got into medicine in the first place.
