yep.  It's much cheaper [/quote]

Cheaper for who exactly? [/quote]

United Healthcare[/quote]

Such an ignorant answer. Are you under the impression that United Healthcare cares where the billing doctor went to school?[/quote]

You definitely missed the point. Provider wages (paid by insurance companies) can be suppressed if you bring in labor from the developing world.

So-called shortages in U.S. labor are often pressed as a political issue with the proposed solution of importing cheaper labor. This is in every sector of the economy.[/quote]

Please provide any semblance of proof for the statement you made. [/quote]

If you do not understand this from following U.S. news and policy over the last 30 years, it is because you choose not to.[/quote]

I understand perfectly that you've been told a lot of nonsense by Fox news that you now believe without any actual proof. Either produce the evidence or shut up.[/quote]

I'm definitely left of center and I probably hate faux news more than you do. But I am annoyed that wages have been suppressed by large corporations through lobbying congress for special visa exemptions that just so happen to increase their profit margins. Those are just facts. You can choose to like or not like them.[/quote]

Again, provide evidence or shut up. If it's so evident, why haven't you done it yet?[/quote]

PP’s defensiveness regarding something pretty obvious is fascinating.  If the number of medical school seats isn’t increasing, but demand for doctors is… how exactly do you think that gap gets filled?  Have you not noticed the vast number of doctors with medical training in foreign countries that are practicing here in the US?  Do you want 15,000+ screenshots of medical credentials?  What ridiculous science project do you need to see to verify that the US imports labor when there are shortages.  Even in the medical field.  And yes, sometimes importing labor happens at the expense of American citizens. [/quote]

Please read what I responded to in the first place before you tell me how wrong I am. We don’t have enough doctors, but it’s not because of united healthcare. Way to show you’re just as dumb as the one I was responding to. Also, feel free to produce evidence. [/quote]

I’m not dumb, but apparently you think everyone else is.

United Health care was listed as an example of a US insurance provider - this was made clear in the subsequent posts. PP could have said Kaiser instead - the actual insurer/hmo is immaterial.  You’re the only one here hung up on United Health Care, which on its own, has nothing to do with the purpose of this thread.

I clicked on this thread because it sounded interesting, but you seem compelled to attack others and obstruct a conversation because you’re either hung up on United Health Care or you have a problem with the overall topic and you want to impede the dialogue. If you have a point to make, you can post whatever references you want without trolling for “proof” [/quote]

If you make a claim, it’s on you to provide the evidence. For someone who is not dumb, you have a very hard time with this very simple concept. [/quote]
