i was thinking about universal health care today and i'm completely against it unless following doctor's orders is required for maintaining coverage i.e. if you're a fat smoker and the doctor is like "diet exercise and stop smoking" and you don't do it you have to pay your own damn bill rather than everybody else in the country/state paying for it
as med students i can't imagine anything but full support for this conditional due to potential for hilarity and extortion i.e. "the only way to cure that eczema is for me to sex j00" they either say yes and you get sexings or they say no and keep costs down for all of us win/win
maybe this commences the legislative aspect of The Project

Current universal health care plans use more of an incentive plan utilizing Americans' preference for carrots over sticks.
This is one of (several) reasons the bill gets little support from conservatives. They dislike the idea of anyone getting a "free ride" from the system even if all of the studies show that it's less cost for everyone in the long run. Control that hobo's diabetes for a couple hundred bucks before it turns into a $15k amputation.
The only people losing out are those invested in insurance companies. Well that and doctors that get off on amputations.

My preceptorship is at an endocrinologist so no rectal exams yet. Other than standard history and physical the only "procedure" I've done was a thyroid biopsy. No cancer yay!
