Medical doctors are always thinking about the " business " of medicine

Today's medical doctors hardly think about anything else but the BUSINESS of medicine. A 67 year old friend of mine with acute pains in his leg visited one of those WALK IN treatment centers on Reservoir Ave. in Cranston. Not having a credit card ready, this senior citizen on Medicare and Medicaid was quickly told that the doctor will NOT see him. He went to a hospital emergency room yesterday.
A real national health care system -where health care is seen as a basic human right-would make it illegal for any licensed medical doctor or dentist to refuse to see any Medicare or Medicaid patients.
To be sure, democratic Socialism will take the business out of the American health care industry. Agree Bernie Sanders ?Training doctors to think about the business of medicine
