You will note that it addressed doctors who voted for and who support his healthcare fiasco as morons. My doctor is the one assigned to me as my military healthcare provider and is great. What I said is a note of caution for all of those other doctors out there who do not support obama that they will be swept into this socialist scheme just as the moron doctors will.

Malpractice companies would have to change with competition. Unprovable, but a hopeful dream.
To say that the whole medical industry is corrupt is painting with too wide of a brush. Doctors do have compassion and actually do work for some that can not afford Dr. fees. To use the term "doctors" without any idea of how many, what kind, or where they may be defeats the purpose of the argument. It trys to substitute "feelings" for facts.
Insurance companies do have to be competitive and even Farmers Group has a class action law suit for overcharges Uh...of course they do; they are "for profit" business entities. What these comments have to do with my original questions is beyond me....but thanks for the response anyway.

They’ll just import the doctors from India.

You seem to be substituting feelings for facts also. You seem feel the whold medical system is corrupt. I know my doctor forgives many bills that poor people can not pay. you accused me of unprovable but hopeful dream... without any idea of how many and what kind. You have done the same with your statement of corruption. Farmers group was sued in a class action law suit so with changes in malpractice insurance they could also be sued over overcharging.
