[QUOTE="witzend, post: 80574, member: 99"] I just now finished watching this show. What strikes me about what they have left out of the conversation is that the current legislation that would provide coverage for all children does very little if health care providers have a choice as to whether they will accept it or not. What's needed is a level playing field. So long as a doctor has a choice as to whether to take Blue Cross for $90 per appointment plus all the procedures [i]or[/i] $50 from medicare, it's moot. They'll take the $90 and figure the $50 patient is someone else's problem. I'm sad to say that I don't have a lot of faith that this will become anything other than another shriek-fest. [/QUOTE]
