First, there is no health care crisis. No hospital denies care to anyone! As a result, hospitals are crowded in the emergency rooms by poor people looking for sympathy and companionship. Universal health care will free up the emergency room. My last two visits included a wide range of complicated tests, 80%-plus proving unnecessary. Gone is the house call internist. Every doctor's office administers blood, urine, and other tests. Doctors say that only by these tests can they exist with Medicare. Procedures pay—advice does not. When my doctor finally quit, he had figured out that 8 minutes was all he could afford per patient to break even. If government supported private health care, the screening triager, backed by well-paid internists, could reduce crowding in our hospitals. The idlers may wait all day. Legal?—probably not. Effective?—yes. A friendly government will create an effective health care system.

There is a health care crisis but, the problem is not more government. We need to remove the laws that make the insurance company's above the law and, in some cases provide immunity from prosecution. In my state a "insured" doctor can not be ordered to pay over $100,000 even for wrongful death. The issue is not doctors, is not the lawyer's but, it is the insurance lobby.
