This is just pure insanity. In the video Obama makes the following statements:

"But having a public plan out there that also shows that maybe if you take some of the profit motive out, maybe if you are reducing some of the administrative costs, that you can get an even better deal, that's going to incentivize the private sector to do even better. And that's a good thing. That's a good thing."

What is wrong with doctors making money? For crying out loud they save lives! If a sports players can make millions just for entertaining what is wrong with doctors making money? Also this comment seems to say that if we take away the incentive of profit away from doctors they will do a better job. How in the world does that even make sense? If you take away profit from Doctors why would you want to become one?

Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that's out there. So if they're looking and you come in and you've got a bad sore throat or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, "You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out."

So in other words doctors are all the time preforming procedures that dont even need to be done to you just for money. This was a pure slam on doctors. If I was a doctor I would be ticked! Besides the comment just defies reality. For the simple reason you would go to one doctor who tells you to go to a surgeon to get your tonsils taken out. So that means 2 doctors are involved. So why would the first doctor refer you to the surgeon. He gets know profit from that. It just doesnt even make sense.
