A lot of facts missing here. Seeing as my father in law is a surgeon, and with planty of our friends that are doctors or other personnel in the healthcare service this is BS. My wife too is in the industry just a different calling.
We've had several doctor friends who have retired because their malpracice has gone up 10 fold in recent years as everyone is looking for any reason what so ever to sue a doctor and the hospitals. Doctors costs have also increased as more and more people are looking for healthcare services and less people staying in a very tough field or just retiring. Therefore employee costs at clinics have also gone up significantly trying to find qualified file folks, nurses, etc...
If healthcare is made available for more and more people, costs will continue to go up even more on an already limited resource. That means the very best doctors, nurses, diaticians, etc... will only go where the very best money is. That leaves fewer and worse healthcare people stretched overall more people. Costs will rise, service will get worse, lawsuits will go up even more , thus raising malpractice more and more and more people will retire from the field.
Ask an older family practice doctor his opinion, and stop listening to the politicians.
