You know, I would love one of these business owners go up to some union leaders and say, “you know since you guys believe that money is the root of all evil, and since you are a socialist by nature-which means that you don’t believe in money to begin with—I won’t be paying any of you guys. Either work for what the market dictates, and I can replace you.”
That’s why you’ll never have socialized medicine in this country. Once all the doctors realize that they are not going to be paid what they’re worth, nobody will want to be doctors anymore. It’s like with all of these lawsuits. Why should I even practice, if I’m going to end up broke? The only good thing about this is that nobody is going to want to become a lawyer because nobody is going to sue a poor doctor. If you don’t believe me, just wait to you tell your law partners that we are not going to be making any money because all of the doctors are now government controlled. Of course, if you do have government medicine, and some doctor screws up, doesn’t that mean we can sue the government for malpractice? How about this—I would love some Republican say: “Sure I’ll help you pass health reform, right after you Democrats pass loser-pay legal reform.” Of course, no Republican has the guts to say that...
