Doctors Request Assistance
Physicians across the nation doctors are appealing to the government for a nationally financed
, countrywide health insurance program that they claim would help to include all current health care needs for Americans while saving as much as billions of dollars.Today's physicians make the claim that the private market ideas have totally let us down, years and years following a suggested national health plan which failed in Congress, as it was mired in complicated and controversial ideas that were scrutinized and attacked by the insurance, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
These doctors think that if Congress established a prescription drug benefit for the disabled and elderly, it would only benefit private customers and consumers wouldn't see much of a difference.
Physicians would instill a singer payer system, an ultimately advanced and larger edition of Medicare that cared for the disabled and senior citizens.
While the HMOs (health maintenance organizations) were originally meant to be the best chance to fix health care issues, they have ended up increasing the costs for Medicare by billions while hitting bottom with public opinion of their services.
Although investor owned hospitals seemed like they would be more efficient, they've been sullied by scandals.

The organization responsible for lobbying for the managed care industry, the American Association of Health Plans, also finds, that the single payer system that the doctors put forth, which will mean an end to health maintenance organizations and for profit hospitals, is unsatisfactory.
The American Medical Association claims that the number of doctors interested in signing the article for a single payer system is lower than 1% of the thousands of doctors in the US However, one physician is unwilling to concede this point notion the historical significance of a group of doctors, a group traditionally opposed to this sort of legislation, coming out in favor of national health insurance.
