Dear Editor,                                                

Federal Congressman M. Griffith, in his latest newsletter talked about the differences of Medicaid and Medicaid expansion.and the Butterfly Effect. He needs to instead address the main effect. The following is why. 

In 2020, less than one-sixth of medical doctors were self-employed. The rest worked for a hospital corporation or another corporate entity. That is a drastic change from just the Seventies and Eighties.

Vast majority of medical doctors are no longer independent practitioners working for the patient. They work for corporate structures instead by complying with corporate protocols. They have no choice but to abide by these protocols. In order to pay for the unnecessarily expensive medical education, their compliance to such private fiefdom protocols is highly pressured or they risk their entire medical careers.
People complain about socialized medicine. At least in an genuine socialized medical system, medical doctors answer to the government bureaucracy in their service of patients. Medical doctors are not saddled with debt. If people find genuine socialized medical care to be unacceptable, those people need to at least admit that it would be a better alternative than what currently exists.
Medical doctors are currently serfs to a kleptocratic and corporately-controlled medical system that enriches its higher tier elite and other parasitic elements of society. In a genuine socialized healthcare system, at least healthcare is dispensed to everyone’s need as the people who are in charge of the system are moderately paid bureaucratic operatives. In the current corporate predatory system, healthcare is dispensed to the greed of elites who are in charge of the medical system.
In a socialized healthcare system, incompetence is often an issue because of meddling bureaucracy. However with the corporate takeover of the healthcare system, both incompetence and willful harm are issues because of corporate anti-competitiveness but also because of corporate influence of the bureaucracy. In a socialized healthcare system, at least there is separation between the HC system operatives and the regulatory system operatives. There is no separation between the two systems presently.
The root cause is the BAR Attorney “Lawyering-Lobbying Regime”. They have destroyed the independence and sovereignty of the individual(s) and the People. It is a rabid entity .not because of its pervasive influences. but because of its core existence. It cannot be reformed, bargained, or reasoned with. It will never be symbiotic to representative governance and rule of law. It will absolutely not stop until the People continue to be servile to it.

 Very Truly Yours,
 
Harsha Sankar
