Wow, I wish the mainstream news would have discussions like this.

Doctors feel entitled to live in a mansion, own a collection of exotic cars and vacation on their yacht. They work for profit not health.

This lady doctor is full of shit. There is no such thing as a frivolous lawsuit. Drs. Tortured me and I should’ve killed them, rather than try to sue them. And that’s what will happen if people can’t sue doctors. Any doctor who thinks they have enough money to pay for the suffering they cause is clinically insane. time will come when patients will say, "physician heal thy self" and doctors will unable to cure themselves from the baseball blows to the head.

I agree with the doctor completely except for one issue. I used to work for a lab at a hospital and I can tell you all the medical personnel do WAYYY more blood tests than they need to. It is certainly not the minimum and I think hospitals speak the majority over private practice. They actually have regulations to run all sorts of tests that make it seem the necessary and minimum when in reality not even half of the tests are necessary. I mean they make hundreds of dollars per vial of blood.

@John6verse27 It was 2 years at my old school :D

Great interview. There is a lot more to this than just "give me health care". It is a very confusing matter - designed to keep us from knowing! A lot of us would do well to start exercising & eating better. You think we have health issues as adults now. Just wait for the next generation. A lot of these children are raised on McDonald's & Taco Bell. We start on the school food being fed to them. Also, gym is not a mandatory 4 years class in High School.

this was a classy interview, learned a lot.

A thoughtful woman,indeed. But she'll defend doctors to death, and here I'm on the side of Cenk and the facts LOL

1). They do get fees per service.

2). In most places they get higher fees even for prescribing and administering a MORE EXPENSIVE drug!

Study after study shows that with this system the number of performed services goes up (compared to salary-based places)

That said, I also heard that with or without that "public" option,insurers and drug companies LOVE the bills. It's bad news.

I apologize for my previous comment.

Dr. Elainia George obviously is from the Jane Hamsher/Cenk Uygur school of thought. I'm just interested as to why she posted on Bitchbart's website.
