#2 The abysmal track record of government involvement in nearly anything is quite clear. The current scandal with the Phoenix VA hospital should offer a peek behind the curtain. This entire exercise has absolutely nothing to do with healthcare. It's simply another government control mechanism and racketeering scheme.

#3 Doctors are generally pretty smart folk. Hard not to rankle taking orders from politicians who generally aren't.

#5 Dr. Craviotto does understand the Golden Rule: those who have the gold make the rules.

When we docs started taking insurance, the Blues, Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs, PPOs and managed care, we did all this to ourselves and have no one to blame.

My dentist is smarter than we docs. He takes no insurance plans whatsoever. Cash and drill. Of course that's a limited practice compared to medicine, but you get the idea that a lot of family medicine could be done the same way.

There is no situation in America, from 1788 to now, in which the federal government gave money to others without exerting control. It simply doesn't happen.
