once in a while my wife looks at the best doctors in their fields, and most of them don't accept medicare or medicaid
if we go to a socialized system then the good doctors will just not participate and we will have a bad system for the peons and a good system for the rich who are advocating socialized medicine. i prefer the current system where my wife went to a surgeon who is one of the top people in his field and a full professor at one of the best medical schools in the US and got excellent care.
I have a primary physician I go to just for annual blood tests who i think very lowly about. I never take his referrals and always found my own specialists when needed who are a lot better. the few people that did follow his advice almost died in the hospitals he said they should go and they are some of the worst hospitals in NYC. And they had problems because the hospitals are bad hospitals, not due to their conditions.
