But then even more people would be without healthcare and have to pay hundreds of thousands out of pocket? Peoples health isn't like an optional game, its something necessary to survive, and while it sucks that the system is fucked up, you can't just protest with your wallet like that. Its not realistic.
Personally I think more of our taxes should be put towards healthcare and education. Mostly education. If people are smart, they won't hurt themselves.
" plenty of people live without healthcare just fine " then what's the point of complaining? If enough people can live fine without it then what does it matter if not everyone has it?
Not everyone is willing to risk their life and health. Even if it would work, that's not the only way and its definitely not the safest way.
Boycott healthcare? Why would I? I get lotions for my neurodermatitis, had to have my tonsils removed, went to hospital with a concussion and salmonella, got physiotherapy for my scoliosis and will have two necessary root end surgeries next week. And it was all paid for by healthcare. I know if I ever have something life threatening like cancer or a car crash, I won't have financial worries in addition. I love healthcare.
the two things are hardly comparable. Healthcare is pay to live? Thats a logical fallacy for sure. It also implies that forcing someone (a doctor) to take care of you is somehow a god given right. Also theres plenty of people who voice their issues with the healthcare system.
There are no stable news platforms. But I happen to live in Rochester Mn, dubbed "Med City", where Mothership Mayo is located. Like half of this city my wife works for Mayo. She and I have had countless discussions with providers who echo the same concern of this article.

My wife was offered paid tuition to pursue an MD but we chose not to because of the stress and BS that the other providers carry on their faces every day.

But no, your right. I'm incompletely misinformed.
So unless a person is able to write their information and beliefs down in proper academic format with proper scientific research and support, their opinions shouldn't be acknowledged?
You're saying that my personal experience and first hand communication with burnt out doctors is irrelevant because i have yet to write it down in the form of a sourced research paper?

If your last post was to object to my statement that there are no stable news sources, your example is not a news source at all.
You're absolutely correct when you say every one of them could choose to quit if they want to. My point is that more and more are doing exactly that. The question is what happens when there arent enough healthcare providers to deliver on your government given right to healthcare?
The answer is that healthcare cannot be a right!
Boycott: withdraw from commercial or social relations with (a country, organization, or person) as a punishment or protest.
So if I get sick or injured I should just not go to a doctor or hospital in order to protest the lack of the use of taxes to pay for my treatment. Sure, that'll work. Of course if I'm fatally wounded I guess I'll just die then.
But you never know you'll need it. And that's the only way this system works. If you only paid for it when you need it, you might as well just pay your treatment in total because your healthcare fee wouldn't be anywhere near affordable. But if everyone pays a small fee each month, you can have your hospital bills, surgeries and treatments covered by that. Plus, you don't PLAN on getting ill. It can happen to everybody and out of nowhere. Might even be a car crash or something. And then it's too late to start with healthcare (following your logic)
That wasn't my point. That 2nd sentence isn't my point at all. That 4th sentence IS my point. Sorry it wasn't conveyed clearly.
Where does it say "when" they need it? It doesn't.

One persons service cannot be another persons right.

And you're right, forcing people to become doctors so that everyone could have the "right" to healthcare is exactly communism.
