What, you think they'll schedule some elective surgery when they learn of this? People all over the political map have been complaining about healthcare for a long time. I'm surprised you haven't heard any of that.

Seriously, political solutions to this sort of complex problem in the USA are very difficult. Blaming any particular political group for a lack of same is kind of dumb.

If this Dr. Smith is improving the state of healthcare as most comments here seem to indicate, then you'll be scandalized by the Gustave de Molinari quote on his blog. It's more Ron-Paulian than Ron Paul.

They want the government to play less of a role, not more of one. Regulation of corporations is not something they want. They are mainly for moving power from the federal government to state governments.
