If you are actually wealthy you can self-pay and go to doctors who don’t even accept Medicare. I assume Moore could do this.

There is a bimodal distribution of hassle. If you plot hassle on the y axis and wealth on the x axis, hassle is high with medicaid and “self pay” patients, bottoms out with the working class, and then rises precipitously with the non-working rich. (excluding the self-made man or woman who is always easy to get along with. Unfortunately, the self-made man brings along his entitled wife which negates any pleasure one would get treating the self-made man)

Oh really? Why don’t you ask the wealthy Medicare patient whether they can find a doctor to see them any more readily than the impoverished Medicare recipient? Actually our system is much more egalitarian than most. Let Mr. Moore just wait and see how fast he can get an appointment when he is on Medicare and he learns that you cannot buy access with your private funds. In fact, taking care of the poor is a lot easier than taking care of demanding high-maintenance wealthy folks that you cannot charge more. The average American has access to excellent care, it is actually the folks over 65 and wealthy who are disadvantaged.

Let’s pose a more interesting and more useful question. If hypothetically More were to have to declare bankruptcy (MC Hammer anyone?) and need treatment, where would he be better off as a native citizen, Canada, France, Britain or the US?
