German Doctors go on Strike
The recent article shows that the socialized healthcare system is also wrought with problems. [Thousands of German doctors strike over pay - Netscape News]
Patients in Germany I’m sure will feel the impact of 12000 plus physicians going on strike.
Reform of our healthcare system is needed, but socialized medicine is not the answer. Recent Canadian data is also showing some very bad trends in access to care and what exactly what care patients can actually receive.
We need legislatures who are willing to make some radical changes.

No disagreement in the fact that everyone is replaceable.
These other healthcare professionals do provide similar services, sometimes better in certain areas, but their knowledge base is not on the same level.
It has been said before, "The eye sees what the mind knows"
It is the intellectual component that separates these providers. Ultimately, patients will need to decide what that is worth.
We had a nurse practitioner for about 4 years, but patients continually wanted to see the doctor even if they could see her sooner.
Here is an interesting article on healthcare costs.

anonymous,
thank you for the link. It is excellent. I will make a posting related to it and try to get more people to read it.
I don't think I disagreed with any of his 10 reasons.
Did not disagree with any of the 10? In that case, I am sure that I will disagree with at least 5!
(smile) How you doing doc?
iamhoosier,
good to hear from you. Miss your wit and comments.
(blush) You are so kind. I am afraid there are many in blogland who would disagree with your assessment of me. Of course, controversial subjects have not bothered you in the past.
