[quote=threadkiller]I think doctors,dentists,and veterinarians are just out of touch with what an average persons income is and what they can afford. [/quote]
This strikes me as being the place to start. Doctors seems conspicuous by their absence in this debate, no doubt through fear of reduced incomes. However, how can you have a debate about health care reform without major input from the people on the ground floor. In all the newspaper articles, forums, TV discussions, I have heard only one physician speak out, and read only one article that makes the same point. The dynamics would probably change somewhat if some assurances about livelihoods are made by reformers. First, Democrats need to grapple with the thorny issue of litigation.
