About 11% of children on US private insurance get declined from doctors, but or medicaid a whole 67% get rejected from doctors! [1] Ok before I go into other stats may I go into personal belief? (note my opponent DOES NOT NEED to refute this). My dad as a doctor hates medicaid, to many regulations. Ok back to evidence. there is a 74% higher death rate from surgeries when your insurance is medicaid over their private counter parts. [2] *stYes, pubic insurance in america means you are 74% likely to die, *start sarcasm* isn't that great kids? Government healthcare sounds great! Can't wait until we are all on medicaid type healthcare! *end sarcasm* the extensive paperwork (see my non needed refutable opinion) is the main reason doctors refuse seeing these people, says the GAO. [3] Another study indicates they are 8.5 times more likely to say no to you if yo have medicaid then if you have private insurance. [4] 17% of doctors and 31% of primary care doctors reject patients on medicare. [5] medicare part B is the cause for many drug shortages. [6] I could rest my case here, as current US programs for healthcare are terrible, and a national system woudl just spread the pain, but hey lets keep going.
