I understand this is probably a right of center type blog. All arguing, name calling and credential brandishing aside. We have a problem in this country with paying for health care. There are those who believe health care is a right. I’m one of those people. Dr. Hsieh does not. So we have a difference in philosophy. I understand that there are some who may abuse the system, I’ve seen them, but they are not the majority. And I’m sure most of the physicians on this board do not practice anecdotal based medicine. But there are people, liberal and conservative, rich and poor who are getting financially devastating medical bills. When times get tough, paying for food and heat trumps paying medical bills. There are physicians and surgeons who are not getting paid for services rendered. And there are people who are not doctors stepping between physician and patient. Whatever your politics there is a problem that needs to be fixed. How are we going to do it? Fight the same old finger pointing Liberal vs. Conservative fight of intransigence until nothing is accomplished?
