Hi I’m a doctor in the USA. I absolutely want to have a single payer system. 50% of my patients are on Medicare. They pay worse than every private insurance company available. They’ve cut reimbursement for all billable procedures in my specialty every year for the past three decades. I’ve written a strongly worded letter to my senators. What exactly would you like me to do? Refuse to see privately insured patients and lay off half my staff? Seriously I’m listening.
