[RoadTest]

If we allow our government to install Socialized Medicine in this country, and the bills now being discussed are indeed Socialized medicine, doctors will quit in droves and find some other means of income or retire.

The doctors who remain in practice will demand money under the table, as they do now in Canada. Everyone loses all around: the country loses doctors, the government loses revenue, the remaining doctors lose their living and we lose free choice and good medical care.

By the way, I’m still waiting to hear that Obama and the Congressmen and Senators and czars and Supremes will be covered by the plan they are telling us is so great. If it’s so great, why don’t they accept it? Hm?

I agree. If Congress is going to pass this bill, it must include a provision that makes the use of any "private" (non-universal) health care illegal. This includes personal doctors or special family practices and co-ops. The penalty should be punishable by death (via public stoning and I'm not talking about marijuana, so relax Dr. Paul) or banishment from the USA permanently. They would never buy off on that because that is exactly what they intend to do. Just look at any socialized medicine program around the world and you will find that the elites (political or wealthy) go along with the program because the middle class pay for it and the wealthy don't have to use it. The poor end up with rationed, mediocre care at best vs. no care at all so they are good with it...at first. It sickens me. Some animals are more equal than others.
