Right. Doctors are people too. They are not robots who are ordered around by government or society. They have their own problems and life challenges like anyone else. Most are heavily in debt by the time they are done with medical school, residency and fellowship. At age 33, they finally are qualified to get a job and a chance to begin paying back the loans. Now we have people criticize them because they want to be paid?

Ultimately, it is the Federal Government that is criminal because they allow these slime ball physicians to get away with not seeing a person who is seriously ill because they cannot afford their fee. All you care about is the physician getting paid and preserving your abstract notion of freedom. I care about the health of the ill person first and foremost. Pushed to the extreme, capitalism is barbaric and inhumane. And all the people who can't afford to go to physicians when they are sick are perfect illustrations of that. There is a middle ground here and that's what single payer is all about. But you are a hardcore, extreme capitalist whose concept of freedom kills other people.
