Is America ready for Socialized Medicine? These stories are appearing daily in the news from the UK. When you have Government care, no one is held accountable for mistakes. And you don't sue the Government for malpractice (all doctors will be under Government control).Americans have trusted our private medical community to do their best by us. Obamacare will destroy the doctor/patient relationship. Here is what is in store for us: 1 Each will be required to attend whatever clinic is closest to their home. 2 You will take whatever doctor is available at the time you go, after waiting your turn in line. 3 If you do not like or get along with your assigned doctor of the moment, too bad. 4 You can only be seen by a specialist if your doctor of the moment decides you can. 5 Doctors are fined if they send too many patients to specialists. 6 You cannot see a specialist just because you want a second opinion. 7 You cannot 'pay for your own tests'. Each medical test requires a requisition from a physician. If the government says you do not get a mammogram until age 50, that is the law. 8 You will have no control at all over your care.
There are lots more conditions that we will have to live with, those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head from working in the NHS.
