  1. Do you think maybe they just want to be able to….dare I say….practice MEDICINE? That would be too convenient an explanation.

  2. I imagine that doctors get very tired of the endless paperwork and waiting for payment from insurance companies and envy their colleagues in advanced countries who don’t have to deal with any of that.

  3. ….Hi again. I heard a stat a week or two ago that suggested that in the US specialists earn double what they earn in other developed countries. I don’t want to be hard on doctors; but seems to me that there have been multiple artificial barriers to competition erected throughout the industry (insurance, hospitals, pharma…) If that is true, then we’re stuck with artificially inflated medical prices until we artificially level the playing field — which circles back to the public option. Thought your post was very interesting. cheers.
