He's taking the argument/debate to the extreme, conveniently omitting that health care (even with single payer in the mix) will not deny medical personnel compensation for their efforts...nor will it stop private practice that may not want to participate in those programs.
Normally I can 'see' how they make the leap to that extreme.. this time though, I can't. a right to healthcare means I'm 'conscripting' a janitor? an office cleaner? That stretch is way too far to make... especially since it's only the doctor I'm putting into slavery, I plan on paying the janitor and office cleaner..
The sad part about what he said is, you and I know a few people who think exactly the same thing, who would have read that and nodded their heads in agreement. It's pure insanity.
and talk about slavery...I love this other quote from him
Doctors, he said, should care for patients because of their own moral code.aren't those 'moral codes' all about doing things for free? in a voluntary way? So is he saying that doctors should care for people and not charge them?
