Ed vs. Republican ex-doctor with a health care plan

[shireen]

Who is this guy? I missed his name.

I got the chills listening to him. That Republican spoke with a forked tongue and used his credentials as a former doctor to sound authoritative. He's the kind of person who can use the right combination of words to fool conservatives into thinking that single-payer is bad. He's dangerous.

Ed did a good job challenging him, but there was no time to systematically take apart this guy's twisted arguments. :mad:

Ed was smart enough to stop, several times,

at the "he said, idiot said" moment.

Talk about a koolaid snorter. Every doc I know, (and I know many because of my profession) wants single payer. Every doc prefers the predictability and lack of bullshit forms and crap that insurers give you. Every doc I know wants a national program for everyone. Most have some staffers dedicated to simply dealing with insurers, and they mostly lose.

4. Did anyone

catch when the Republican said medicare isn't accepted with new doctors. If that's the case, I shouldn't have my new doctor. I have a doctor that can do home visits and he takes medicare just fine
