Actually I thought it rather clever. The fact that you responded is worth a belly laugh.

Tom, I have no allusions that suddenly one day we go from health insurance company control to government control. It has to be phased in a little at a time, maybe one small age group goes into the new system for a test run. A certain number of physicians would shift to full-time salaried care of just that group. You iron out the wrinkles and then keep adding in additional segments until you have the full country covered. Perhaps for the first few years you only provide catastrophic coverage for all Americans. Who knows how it would be implemented. The idea though is to get private industry and profit motive out of the picture as soon as possible. It cannot coexist with a caring society.
