Repeal Obamacare and get the government out of your doctor's office

I couldn't get coverage before Obamacare because I have high blood pressure. I want to get the doctors out of the doctor's offices, make it easier to sue them for malpractice. The standard of medical care in this country is in the shitter and it's not getting better until doctors, and pharmaceutical companies, start being held personally liable for their actions. Till we can sue the bad ones out of existence. The last 4 decades have been a little dark age for medicine, atypical anti-psychotics, cox-2 inhibitors, that shitty covid vaccine, low dose aspirin treatments, steroid treatments for arthritis, overprescription of antibiotics and opioids, NSAIDs are way less safe then we thought... So much of the medicine practiced has been wrong.

And short of that, if the doctors want to stubbornly remain shit at their jobs, I will just call docs-in-the-box. Doctors can be the new call center employees. It is more fitting with their abilities.

I agree, but am convinced that medical care is so in the toilet because most of them are bankrolled via Medicare and Medicaid. If you look at the prices, things didn't skyrocket until the 70s when the government destroyed medical competition via these programs. Couple that with States enforcing Certificate of Need laws, which create provider monopolies, and the insurance companies dictating both pricing and procedures, the consumer has no true power, advocacy, or control. The doctors are only problems because the State has conditioned them to be. Fix the State, you fix the root problem
