Huh? U.S. health care ranks near the bottom in most studies. All American doctors do is treat symptoms, not root problems. I've heard that European doctors tend to have a more holistic approach.
And Obamacare is only going to make everything worse.

Mercola is not a reputable source. The guy is a kook who misuses his medical training to bamboozle people and gets rich by selling worthless “supplements.”
If you are genuinely sick, go see a licensed physician or PA. If you are not sick, you should not be taking “supplements” that some quack promises have pharmaceutical qualities. “Supplements” that do not have active ingredients are a useless waste of money. “Supplements” that do contain pharmaceutically active chemicals are dangerous. If you take them without having a diagnosed condition, you can damage your body. Furthermore, since “supplements” are unregulated, they contain variable quantities of pharmaceutically active chemicals, ranging from too low to have an effect to high enough to be toxic.
Clinton Seeks to Regulate Medical Specialties
By ROBERT PEAR,
Published: September 15, 1993
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14— In an effort to create more family doctors, President Clinton’s health plan would empower the Federal Government to decide how many doctors should be trained each year as family practitioners, radiologists, surgeons, neurologists and other specialists.
The proposal is provoking intense debate among medical educators and other experts.
It would establish Federal regulation in a field now governed by the choices of medical students and teaching hospitals. If Congress approves, the Clinton Administration would sharply reduce the number of specialists and increase the number of general-practice doctors.... -http://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/15/us/clinton-seeks-to-regulate-medical-specialties.html
Anyways, he put together a loan and with two friends, built their practice. the three of them spent more than a $million to build the facility, then another $2million to equip and staff it. But, the real bugaboo was the annual malpractice insurance cost of $1.5 million to start. It increased annually.
There are plenty of claims against many doctors, but they had none. Yet, the MI costs went up exponentially. He retired at 52!
Being a good doctor is not enough!
The GOP lied and kept ObamaCARE because THEY,
their staff, THEIR families, and all Moslems are
EXEMPT.
What else could one expect of such a lying, disgusting,
totally treasonous, and Islamic-terrorist submissive party
of scum?
Post of the Day !! (PotD)
The AMA limits medical student slots in US to keep demand high. And since they now have almost half women, who usually go into less demanding fields, there are lots of disciplines that will have little fulfillment. So we will use overseas doctors instead.
Seems everyone in the medical biz is doing well except for the doctors.

Your friends are not doing well because the medical-insurance-industrial complex wants them to be employees, not independent practitioners. As employees they are under the control of the complex. Leftist totalitarianism demands obedience.

As long as the corrupt MSM, water carriers for the DNC, go first, I’m okay with this.
“I said: thank you dear.”
Take it from someone happily married to the same beautiful woman for over 30 years.
That is always a wise reply.
STFU bitch sometimes works too.
Unfortunately not and getting worse Now reimbursements are steadily decreasing and we are squeezed to see more patients in less time than ever. I am 53 and believe me if I could retire today I would There is something about having 4 kids two of them in grad school.....
Yeah. Apparently the States rely on them for estimates on needed doctors for medical school appropriations; they conducted a decades long campaign of limiting the number of doctors. Kids with 3.75 GPAs and decent MCATS could not get in; the reality is that the previous generation of docs were guys with gentleman's C's and good family names. You don't have to be a genius to be a GP; in fact, it's a detriment: smart people can't do that all day long. They'd go bonkers.
So now we're told that Pakistan and India produce Wonderful Docs. The reality is that they are far worse then the Just-OK docs we would have had if we had doubled the number of medical schools along with the population growth between 1970-2000.
