But that's your job, isn't it? It's appalling that you even think you're doing a good deed by not letting uninsured people die, and brag about it. <br /><br />My wife and I have adopted a little boy from Africa.

Troy commented on Egnor's opposition to Obamacare and Egnor replied that he treats uninsured patients for free.<br /><br />If he'd replied that he opposed Obamacare because it's bad policy (and I'd agree - Australia would never adopt Obamacare in preference to its current system), it would be an appropriate response.<br /><br />Matt Taibbi has a recent book 'Griftopia' which in part notes how bad Obamacare actually is (although he notes that the previous system wasn't much better if at all).<br /><br />Actually, I've reread my comment, and I notice that I worded it badly. I shouldn't have implied that Egnor doesn't treat uninsured patients in emergencies for free. I was just noting that health insurance covers more than medical fees. An uninsured patient will be financially destroyed by the hospital charges.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-80732711310278074402014-03-24T10:10:48.738-04:002014-03-24T10:10:48.738-04:00Bach

I can just imagine how bad can it be for uninsured people. <br /><br />I have seen sad, tired, toothles, faces of uninsured whose dignity have been taken away by criminal governments (left or right policies) corrupted by big corporations. I cannot be happy abot that.Eugenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513772766225981430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-44369824097818504022014-03-23T17:54:34.604-04:002014-03-23T17:54:34.604-04:00Ilion and Eugen,

He was referring to health insurance, not about medical practitioners, such as Egnor, refusing to treat the uninsured for free in emergencies.<br /><br />The major part of the cost of healthcare isn't the fees charged by doctors. It's the cost of accommodation in hospitals, which have to staff their facilities with many, often highly trained professionals such as nurses and physiotherapists, and expensive equipment such as X-ray and pathology.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-27395350053729671572014-03-22T22:06:47.120-04:002014-03-22T22:06:47.120-04:00"Troy, how big do you feel?

I've gotten out of bed in the middle of the night hundreds of times to save the lives of patients without insurance. <br /><br />How you could accuse me of callousness to people who cannot pay for medical care, when I donate a major portion of my work to children and adults who can't pay for their care, is beyond comprehension. I could double my income if I adjusted my practice toward lucrative insured patients and high-paying procedures. I treat the poorest of the poor in my community. <br /><br />How much of your work, troy, do you do on behalf of the poor, without compensation? Or do you merely anonymously tout socialist panaceas, and consider yourself virtuous?mregnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-15814040050355959172014-03-22T18:32:14.356-04:002014-03-22T18:32:14.356-04:00It's ironic that Egnor pretends to get all ups...It's ironic that Egnor pretends to get all upset by the selfish intentions of this man.

Basically, as a wife, she's useless. So it's important to him that he take his "soul" elsewhere. Hmph. Should be obvious. <br /><br />But Doctor, I see we're having this conversation again. Moral and cultural matters should be left to experts like "Prudence" aka Emily Yoffee (Wellesley graduate, author of <i>What the Dog Did: Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner</i>, Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,220,593 in Books). Individuals like Ms Yoffee have been carefully vetted by professionals, and are eminently qualified to comment on personal issues.<br /><br />Take a clue from today's hot headlines:<br /><br />All- Breaking news: No breaking news on Flight 370. [Was Natalee Holloway on board?]<br />NBC- Gays in two MIchigan counties to wed Saturday<br />CBS- Giraffe nuzzles dying man<br />ABC- 10 healthy choices to make before you're 30 <br />CNN- New app helps you avoid exes [timely, eh?]<br />Fox- Black market thrives with high cigarette taxes<br /><br />That's real journalism, tovarisch. Try and write something a little more vacuous and entertaining. All this moral dudgeon is depressing to the Collective. <br /><br />PS: The word "sin", like "terrorist", is not in the Associated Press style manual. Too judgmental.
