Bert,
Before unionizing, lets lobby against lobbying. Take the money out of the politicians pockets first. Then the free-market forces stand a better chance of working.
I see a huge trend going on around here. People are mad, furious, at the way government is intruding into our lives and businesses. There was a huge "Tea Party" here yesterday and a lot of demonstrating against the move towards socialized medicine. I about fell over. The local news ran a big expose' on the growing problems Canada is seeing in their health care system and the regrowth of the private sector facilities.
My patients bring it up all the time....asking me my thoughts. They are scared.
If we physicians could at the least get a few good people, physicians, elected to Congress who could then introduce befitting legislation while the rest of us made sure it was talked up I think the people would respond. They are tired of the current corruption.
Or, maybe at the least, we could have a "Million Doctor March" on Washington....scalpels, rib spreaders, vas deferens crushers and colonoscopes in hand!!
I will even make the first contribution to your campaign, Bert or Al. "WE WANT BERT, WE WANT BERT, WE WANT BERT!!"
Leslie who is a little giddy at having a 4 day holiday!!
