<If Kerri gets what he wants doctors will quit in droves, then what will you do.> Get real. Internists and Pediatricians did not quit in droves when the HMO's cut their salary in half in the early nineties. MD's are like anyone else: They still have to earn a living and support their families. What else are they going to do to bring home that type of bacon? I'm sure you are aware of this: "the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) gave the medical world a jolt by publishing a proposal for a national health-insurance system that has been endorsed by more than 8,000 doctors. They include two former surgeons general. Healthcare experts consider the move by the generally conservative journal to be one of the clearest signals yet that the US healthcare system is in need of an overhaul." csmonitor.com Get real. Plenty of MD's and youngsters who want to become MD's support Universal Healthcare. Let the greedy pigs who call themselves Doctors quit. Who needs them? They don't primarily care about the health of people anyway. A complete "overhaul" is, indeed, needed.
