History Now

.

I’ve heard a lot about universal healthcare. Government run hospitals—hospitals consisting of doctors and nurses who are, due to government regulations, getting paid a lot less than they are right now. With such a pay cut, there will be less people willing to go through the rigorous task of medical school (why should they with such a small pay off) that leads to two eventualities. (1) Tax payers pay more in taxes to keep these doctors’ pay up. Or (2) medical school becomes less rigorous (and cheaper) meaning… doctors of lesser quality. If any of you have ever dealt with public government offices—the county clerk’s office for mortgagers, the DMV if you want to get your driver’s license, etc.—you all know that it is not a pleasant experience. Now put over worked doctors, sick people in dire need of medical attention right now, and hundreds of charts that can get more easily mixed up than a couple files at the treasury department… Where does that get fun?
