docs in other countries don't make as much as docs here in the US. Many of our docs now come from overseas and/or get training overseas.
I think a public option would fix a lot of this hot mess. Plus, we're more than a little bit behind the rest of the 21st century, affluent, developed world in having universal health care. I have a friend...he's from the Netherlands. They have universal health care. They have private insurance options, too. His mother's insurance covers her botox. I guess the private coverage is for higher end stuff? I dunno...
ObamaCare is a mess, but the system before was worse for a lot of people (most people?). A public option is the best idea, but with health care largely a for profit enterprise in the US (especially mental health), how's that going to happen? Money talk$
