President Obama's family physician of 22 years has some strong and much needed medical advice for our president. He recommends:
"Medicare for all."
reports Forbes.com. Dr. Scheiner supports
a single-payer system where the government would cover everyone and pay for it by cutting out waste in the system. "A neurosurgeon gets paid $20,000 for cutting into the neck of my patient. Have him get paid $1 million a year instead of $2 million or $3 million. He won't starve,"
President Obama is too intelligent not to recognize the wisdom of his own doctor's advice. The question is whether the private insurance companies will drown out the words of the good doctor -- and millions upon millions of Americans who don't have access to health care -- with their millions upon millions of lobbyists and campaign contributions.
