This would be in the US I presume? Proponents of single payer focus a lot on the issues with insurance taking profits, but I think the real problem with capitalist medicine is that the skills needed for selling medical procedures and helping patients heal are not really compatible. Doctors being forced to sell their own services creates a perverse incentive towards the most expensive procedures, which unfortunately are often also the most risky.

- stillherebitch 7y agoWhat do you mean, "not likely in the U.S."? Didn't you hear their perfectly accurate description of the typical selfish, greedy doctor, whose only real concern is making money and not the patient's health? Sounds exactly like a thousand another similar anecdotes I've heard from a thousand different people.
