Working in the health care system I see the pros and cons of both. Every medical provider I know says they will cut back on the hours they work because of the cut in pay. Why work 70 hours a week when you will get paid for 35. As a result it will be much harder for anyone to see someone for an elective problem. It will take a year before you will be able to get a hip or knee replacement because the line will be so long.

What people don't realize is their will still be a two-tier system like there is in those countries with the socialized medicine. Those that have money can get their medical stuff by the doctor who wants to still make more money and so those other two days he will see only cash paying customers that have the mula.

However it falls, I am scared to see the government trying to regulate one more huge undertaking as national health care
