Have i had a conversation wherein my doctor told me how their wealth is why my Healthcare costs are so high?

No. Because that's not why Healthcare costs are so high, and because doctors aren't some stereotypical stuck up flaunting how they bilk their patients, for fucks sake. Grow up.

Doctors aren't a different species my dude, they have the same capacity for assholery.

The AMA is officially opposed to a single payer system. I can't make it any clearer than that. The body of and for doctors thinks the problem is that we just need to get more insurance. Sure there are some who oppose that, and it's maybe even close to 50/50, but that still leaves a lot of doctors who like the status quo.
