F*ck the media.
Had my yearly physical this a.m.
My internist and I discussed nationalized health care systems and what is going on in health care here in the US.
My doc is in her early 70’s so has been practicing medicine for quite a while. She said over the years she has seen a corporate take over of medicine. She said it went hand in hand with the government takeover of medicine which started way before we though it did.
And also said she started to see the rationing on health care to medicare patients for the last few years. The new thing is to hold ER patients in “observation status” It has do with increased reimbursements if you don’t admit them immediately. (Plan to research this more tomorrow.)
It’s extremely difficult for your personal doc to be allowed to take care of you if you would become hospitalized. Hospital corporations have their own corporate docs who don’t have a clue who you are. (And can basically could care a rats ass about you)

She great!
Patients are hosed.
