Do you believe that compensating a doctor for her labor and expertise is the same as an insurance corporation declining care in order to give a larger share of your premium payment to its officers and shareholders?
Because in a system with universal care, we would still have doctors who are compensated for their labor and expertise, but we wouldn't need the rent-seeking insurance corporation, or its officers, or its shareholders, all to prevent people from receiving care.
How much more care could be provided, for the same cost, without all that waste, fraud, abuse and economic rent?

Could do student housing, provide a car, cook food, give them some money each month, build a new university. Train lots of doctors. When they get jobs ask donations. I mean, I pay plenty for health care but I never use it. I'd be much more interested in buying lots of physicians. Pampered empathic physicians. But I do want annual speeches from them. A website full of them.
