They mentioned money, but it seesm not to be the major concern (since these youtube authors all are already financially settled and established), but the exloding dysbalance between bureaucratic office work they have to waste their time with in order to document what they do with and to their patients, and time left for actually talking with, examining and advising their patients. The paper work can take several times as much time than the practical work on patients, they say.
Whats more, there are research data showing that in the US one in five doctors in the US has shut down his private practice in the past couple of years. The trend is unchanged. And many of those who still work as doctors, now prefer to work not as independents, but for health companies and in any setting of getting employment for and in a bigger "entity" of any sort. These companies and businesses for their own part aim at increasing profit and please their shareholders. How is that done: by cutting costs (lower quality in treatment and councelling), and selling products (drugs and procedures). Younger doctors cannot escape this madness, since after they left university they usually are deep in debts, and this is what silences their willingness to criticise the business and by that their employer, they do not risk to lose the source of their income they need to pay back debts that not rarely are deep in the six digits range and - once they opened their own practice - in the seven digit range.


Correct. Less money and overwhelmed. The practices and doctors are also selective in patients. Medicare does not pay the practices like private insurance. It is at a discount for Medicare. Sometimes the procedure is done at a loss. Some practices are so overwhelmed they do not accept any new patients. Obamacare/ACA is nice on the surface. Below the surface the system is drowning. My family is feeling it with having to wait to see a physician.

Can tell you that here in Denmark and in Sweden it is darn hard, if not almost impossible to commit vote fraud.

Ok The Prime Minister give the go-ahead for an election, which has to be 4 weeks before the elected election day-Otherwise there has to be an election every 4 years.

When this is done every citizens over the age of 18 receive a electoral card-Which contain information about the person and where his polling station are.
The person can vote at the local citizen service's place. This can be done up to 2 weeks before the election day. The voter only need his electoral card and their photo-Id.

On the Election day a voter need to have their electoral card and their photo-Id with them, in order to vote at the specified polling station.

It does happens that someone try to commit vote fraud, but in 99 out of 100 it is discovered and the vote is accused of this(vote fraud). And the voter will receive a fine.

Sweden it is almost the same except here the Prime minister does not have the power to give a go-ahead for an election

There you have it. Voter ID. In my state no ID is required. Anyone can take my vote. One person took my BIL vote.

Like most European states Denmark and Sweden have civil registers and compulsory resident registration. These registration offices manage voter lists (among many other things).

WHAT!? you mean there's no control whatsoever in your state and other states ? No wonder you and others fear vote fraud.

Voter fraud is overblown by Republicans, and stirred up by malignant narcissist Trump who can never admit defeat, or being wrong about anything, and his moron lawyers who are losing their Bar Licenses. Rudy Giuliani, is losing all his property and wealth from a civil suit he lost accusing two election workers of massive fraud, and then there's idiots like Mike Lindell that keep making extreme fools of themselves with outrageous claims that never amount to anything, ever. And then there are those like Kari Lake in Arizona making fools of themselves with screwy lawsuits over voter fraud they keep losing.

I believe parents should be accountable for their kids and their actions. However, this is one parent railroaded by AG Harris. Why is everything a joke to Harris?

It is not overblown when one goes to the polls in the afternoon to vote and is advised you already voted this morning. You can't vote again. Until your vote is taken away would you understand. So be it.

No sir. I go to the polls. State my name and home address. That is it. No ID. Nothing. I go vote. Anyone could use name and address.

And so it begins in MD.


Amilcar de Leon says he immigrated to the U.S. from Guatemala seven years ago. As an undocumented immigrant living in Frederick, he says he feels as if he has no voice on the issues that impact his every day life.


Bud, you have been here 7 years. What is the hold up with becoming a citizen?

Forgot something.

When the voter is standing in front of the table, where there's people sitting and controlling the voter. The voter show their photo-Id and say the four last number in their security numbers and the person behind the desk then check in a book to see if their name is there and when it is found-The voter get their ballot on which all the parties and politicians name is on.

Secondly why not do as in India here you get a stamp on the top of your right hand-This mark will glow in infrared light and can not be removed.

Over here every state requires proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in Federal elections. But not every state requires the voter to present ID before they cast their vote.

Here in Florida where I live, it seems very similar to what you do in Denmark. Every little bit of security measure helps which is why I can’t understand some states don’t require a voter to confirm who they are before they cast their vote.

There is no SS# asked for nor required. Name and address. That is it.

As far as infrared light and stamp, it would be nice but all believe the voting procedures in place are fair and fraud free.

All they have to do is make her look popular enough to justify all the "votes" that are going to materialize.

I don’t understand that, because an undocumented immigrant has no legal right to be in this country.

On the other hand if Amilcar has had an A-card for five years he could apply to become a naturalized citizen. I wonder if anyone in Frederick, Md told him that yet

Better to portray him as a victim, I guess.
