Bankruptcy
I am a foreign podiatrist (that is, in the foreign state of Alabama)
Here unscrupulous patients and lawsuits do abound.
Yet, I really seem to be enjoying the fat of the land, which seems (to me) to be unethically pushed by the BCBS PMD program that is so prevelent here in northern Alabama.
Moreover, I personally don't carry any health insurance for my family (its too expensive and I do work in Haiti instead).
I personally would like to see Medicare drop its 65 y/o criteria, but still require Americans to work/earn proportionate points based on age, workforce capability, and the like. Methinks, this is not socialized medicine but perhaps a form of "right" healthcare (if there be such a thing).
Any comments?
(Shraf, I hope I didn't offend your thread. Perhaps this was discussed elsewhere)
