ObaMao insists that Medicare/Medicaid is an example of socialized medicine being accepted by Americans and working in America. Except it’s the insured consumers and private pay customers who pay for the SHORTFALL that the socialized medicine patients are not paying.
Once everyone is under socialized medicine, there will be no one left to bill $5 for an asprin or $80 for a 5 minute visit to the doctor or $250 for an x-ray.
That's the dirty little secret. That and the fact that doctors and nurses will have to have their salaries capped for the simple reason you have more people chasing the same amount of medical services. Who's going to want to go into medicine only to become a civil servant?
