Super News You Haven't Heard About

Oh Sure, You've Heard About the Latest Trump Noise...

     ...But so very much important, significant, progressive, hopeful news is buried under the crashing cymbals of our Distractor in Chief.
     Like this earth-shaking bit...

*
"Fifty-six percent of doctors registered either strong support or were somewhat supportive of a single-payer health system, according to the survey by Merritt Hawkins, a physician recruitment firm."
56%!  That's way up from just a few years ago.
How come? you might ask. Did docs suddenly become libtards? Why would they care when they get paid, how they get paid?
And that's it... getting paid through the tangled morass of for-profit insurance companies' rules and legal dances (different for every company) is a pain in the prolapsed rectum.
"Physicians often say they are tired of dealing with billing and paperwork, which takes time away from patients," is putting it more politely. A one-doc office might have two or three clerks coping with the insurance companies. 

So HERE WE ARE! Single payer - roughly like every other western civilization has - might actually come to pass.  Just think, the entire U.S. work force far more healthy and freed from the horrible fear of medical bankruptcy! They can change jobs without losing coverage! Talk about strengthening the infrastructure.
     [Blatant advocacy follows] WRITE, E-MAIL, CALL, SMOKE SIGNAL your Congresspersons, reps and senators alike, and tell 'em the doctors want it, you want it and common sense demands it: Single Payer, Single Payer, Single Payer!
