Anytime bureaucrats in government start making healthcare decisions, with NO healthcare experience, it concerns me.
The post office isn't a monopoly on parcel/snail mail, but it's always in deficit, debt, and if it was a private business- would have been bankrupt long before I was born.
Many hate the capitalism aspects of Medicine, Pharmaceuticals, and healthcare- but it's also why we get a much much bigger paycheck than UK, Canadian, or Irish Nurses.
I had a British Nurse Educator at a large Southern US University tell me, "find out what your local public school teachers make, and you'll get a better idea of what you'll make in that area(warning about future effects of a centralized system of Government Controlled Healthcare)."
