Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It gets me the best and brightest compared to you. I, specifically, want someone smarter and more capable than you working on me. Those people cost more than you do. If you want to look for graft in the healthcare industry look at hospital bureaucracy or insurance companies. Skilled workers are a stupid target. Harassing them makes healthcare worse.
It does not. 350k salary gets you a completely average doctor. And if the average salary was only 250k we would all still have the same doctors. My doctors are just as good and probably better than yours. And you cannot even chose your own doctors at all unless you have Obamacare. Nobody goes out and hires their own doctors at all lol. You are imagining some ivory tower theory, not talking about the real world of medicine in the USA.
Are you hallucinating? Stay with me buddy. I...do...not...work...in...the...medical...industry. And if I did I would charge you more than 350k/year despite being completely unqualified since my time is worth more than that.
Your Dad is a doctor huh.
You're clearly missing his point. He's saying that keeping doctor salaries higher than other fields draws talent to the field of medicine from other fields.
Your point about not choosing your doctors is largely correct, but once again, the target of that criticism should be insurance companies, not the doctors themselves.
