Mad as Hell Doctors to promote universal health care at forum

Peninsula Daily News ^ | 8/21/2009 | Rob Ollikainen

[redfog]

Since these "mad" doctors invite people to e-mail questions, I sent in the following questions for the health care forum:

1. Where does the U.S. Constitution authorize a single-payer health care (SPHC) system run by the federal government?

2. Why is the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (part of the Canadian SPHC system) considering the cancelation of 6,000 surgeries to make up a $200 million budgetary shortfall?

3. Why do people in Great Britain (another SPHC system) resort to pulling out their own (bad) teeth with pliers and no anesthesia instead of just seeing the dentist?

4. Why do seriously ill Canadians travel to the U.S. for medical treatment?

5. Who will decide how to ration the available health care once a SPHS is put in place?

6. What methodology will be used for deciding how to ration health care?

7. Why was an Oregon woman recently denied cancer treatment but offered assisted suicide “care” instead?

8. Why did the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association recently say that their system is “imploding”?

9. What alternative do people have if a SPHC system delivers poor health care?

10. Do you have any concern that a $3-4 trillion SPHC will bankrupt the U.S.?

11. What incentive would companies have to invest in new medical technologies or “wonder” drugs under a SPHC system?

12. How will a SPHC ensure that illegal aliens are not allowed to steal U.S. health care services?

13. What part of “First, do no harm” do you not understand?

I hope the MAD AS HECK DOCTORS remember that litigation is one of the biggest reasons for out of contrl health care costs.

[cycle of discernment]

you mean Dumb as Hell Doctors

Let’s hear from the Smart as Hell Doctors like Tom Price...

[Cicero]

The leader of this group is Bill Kildall?

What a great name for a euthanasia doc.

Doesn't Oregon already have single payer?

[GeronL]

The left knows its losing. They want to be the ones who are angry and upset. lol... copycats!

[edcoil]

Yup so why do they need to duplicate it with a federal system.

Footnote:

The “Mad as Hell Doctors,” is the successor organization to the “Stupid as Shit Doctors.” “Stupid as Shit Doctors” was dissolved after membership experienced huge declines in non-assisted suicide patients in their practices. SASD attempted to gain approval for members to use the corpses of their “clients” for organ farming. This was soundly rejected, largely due to the Oregon Coalition for Cannibalism and Necrophila. Subsequently, Stupid as Shit Doctors was dissolved.

These “Mad as Hell” doctors are not in any way representative of the profession. My bet is that the majority are academics and do a limited amount of patient care.

"Mad as Hell Doctors" is kicking off a 20-city "care-a-van" in support of a single-payer health care system Sept. 8 in Seattle.

So, since these doctors support a single-payer system, and Obama says the current proposal will definitely NOT lead to single-payer, then they're against Obama's plan, right?

LOL

[GeronL]

These Oregon doctors are uopset about what?? That the whole country isn’t following Oregon? Their state already has what they are demanding. How is that for dumb?

[ctdonath2]

People are invited to e-mail questions or personal stories -- focused on denial of coverage from unemployment, pre-existing conditions or other pretexts -- to qorstory4docs@yahoo.com.

Can I e-mail a personal story -- focusing on glitch-free coverage -- about how my private health care worked perfectly for open-heart surgery?

‘The left knows its losing. They want to be the ones who are angry and upset. lol... copycats!’

Doctors who are allowed by Oregon law to perform assisted suicide are now going to protest FOR universal Deathcare? LOL! Yeah, that’ll rally Americans for sure...

[Sloth]

"We have a crisis," Kildall said, citing the 67 million uninsured in the U.S.

Whoa! 20 million more people just lost their insurance in the past couple of days?

[ripley]

So, when liberal leftist scu&bags are “mad as hell”, does that mean that everyone has to fold to any pressure they might bring? Is everyone supposed to be afraid of spoiled brats whose mommies told them they were brilliant and could do no wrong. Are we to believe that those who show up “mad as hell” to town hall meetings are nazis, are riff-raff, are dumb, gun-toting, bible toting punks and the “mad as hell” doctors are somehow the only legitimate voices?

IMHO

My money is on an inordinate number of ponytails and rimless glasses.

[henkster]

Let’s see...these are doctors who have the time to go around the country and stump for 0bamacare? This sounds “fishy” to me. If they have real medical practices they don’t have the time for this “tour.”

I suspect they are academics, and therefore committed socialists, who couldn’t diagnose a cold from cancer.
