Actual comments seen on FB last night:

[name redacted]: Why should doctors that have paid for better educations take the same money as ones who haven’t? My husband works very hard to pay alot for private insurance so we java access to the best doctors! I don’t want my top surgeon being filled up with people who can’t afford him! I’m willing to buy top dollar insurance to have my top surgeon/doctor!! Just like buying a first class ticket or riding in coach! It’s my choice to spend more to get better service. If the doctors have either received more education or have been trained longer, than they can charge as much as they like! Otherwise, what is the pay off for the doctor?? This is the land of opportunity, if you have a higher asking price and you are that much better, I say good for you!!

same person later after she was taken to task for being elitist:

I know a lot of doctors! This man is our friend and a spinal surgeon at Rush! He went to Harvard actually. If you have ever applied to Harvard, you would know how gifted you have to be to get accepted! The cost of Harvard is so much more than Ohio State! Most people know, being a Havard educated doctor does come with its perks. When I hear that, usually it means the doctor is better! Anyways, this doctor is being given a cap as to what he can charge by the government! That is wrong! If you can’t afford him too bad! Go elsewhere! Don’t tell him what his education, knowledge and experience is worth!

and this made me just walk away:

It is a fact that with Obamacare that doctors are given a cap. That is not the American way! Doctors have a right to put a price on their services, many other professions do. Because this is a free country, anyone can choose to use an expensive doctor or not. If someone buys a 2000 pair of shoes it’s their choice. I happen to think that 2000 shoes are not worth the money, so it’s my choice to buy keds! That does not mean the company who makes the 2000 shoes HAS to lower their price! It just means everyone can’t have those shoes! Why do the doctors have lower their prices?

I give her credit for being unashamedly elitist and not afraid to say it out loud; but she still doesn’t understand why everyone doesn’t agree with her….
