This topic is political but it is from a real conversation I had during lunch this week.
A coworker Sam told me an interesting story about his doctor. Sam is retired Air Force. His doctor left his private practice 5 years ago and entered the Air Force as a colonel. The doctor is in a specialty field but I don't remember which one. The doctor told Sam his new job in the Air Force is less stressful, and it pays very well. He had been taken to court 2 times for medical malpractice that resulted in defense verdicts. Now, he can not be sued.
Sam thinks there are many private doctors that would like to be Air Force doctors, and a health system like the military's would be a good one for the whole country. Now, the US may be in a good position to make drastic changes. Do you think a military type of health system would be a good replacement?
