Why would these stupid doctors want more government interference in their work? What could they possibly gain other than increased ways to defraud the patient and the feds?
Bingo!
Because it's worked so well in the past. /sarcasm
I think the biggest thing these docs are asking for is a restructure in the reimbursement plans of most of the HMOs. They will reimburse the regular family doc who is smart enough to diagnose a huge range of problems next to nothing- while a specialist who has one small field to dwell on a huge chunk of money. In my opinion, both are very important to our medical practices.
