Physicians heal their wallets
Its about time physician greed has been discussed in this health care drama. I can't begin to tell you how many progressives naively believe that all physicians go to med school for humanitarian purposes.
Most of the doctors that I have encountered believe that since they were smart enough to get through med school, they are ENTITLED to get rich. ENTITLED. Let's not forget the physicians who hold MBAs.
Health care providers are part of the problem. They need to be part of the solution.
kudos to the Suburban Guerrilla for this gem.

Herbert: They lie about everything
"The Congressional Budget Office and most researchers have agreed on the six million figure for the number of youngsters who are eligible for government-sponsored health coverage but remain unenrolled — roughly four million for Medicaid and two million for S-chip. This has not been controversial.
Yesterday, the Department of Health and Human Services began circulating a study that tries to make the case that the total number of eligible but uninsured youngsters is a mere 794,000, an absurdly low figure.
If you can wave a magic wand and make five million poor kids disappear, you no longer have to think about caring for them.
Advocates like Dr. Redlener and Ms. Edelman don’t have that luxury.
“Kids who grow up with poor access to health care carry a high risk of having underdiagnosed and undertreated chronic illness, both physical and emotional,” said Dr. Redlener. “We know what to do. We should fully fund this effort at the $50 billion level and make coverage mandatory for all children.”

Gawande: Obama Health Plan
The one issue everyone can agree on it that the current health care system is broken. The key is to identify the Presidential candidate who has the courage to develop and implement a Health Plan that benefits the consumer.
