You don’t understand it fully. The lowest paying physicians... internists, family physicians and pediatricians to name a few (most non specialists) will not make a profit after reimbursement. At a physician forum with our representative there were two internists there who said that they would be working at a net loss and they had numbers from their practice to back it up. When you only are being reimbursed/paid $60.00 for medicare and $45.00 for medicaid it becomes difficult. When was the last time you saw a professional and paid that amount of money let alone a physician? You can get a manicure and pedicure for $50.00....but we are talking Doctors here and your health not your nails!
My “mentality” is very clear on this,,,
O’Bammy and his bosses are doing their very best to make
the USA a commie/moozzi country,,,
Look past O’Bammy and Soros and you will see the Saudi’s
ass deep to a draft horse in all this mess,,,
If you can't make a bunch of money to suit you by all means
quit and go to work at the local undertaker's parlor...
In your previous post you admit to”having a problem in math here” which only reinforces my argument. While I agree with your thoughts about “O’Bammy” the rest if your diatribe is more than a tad offensive and non productive.
Are you saying that it will be illegal for doctors to opt out of Obama-Care? I can contract with a doctor and pay him whatever I think is fair, much more than Obama-Care will pay out.
A similar example was in the news today. Walgreen is refusing to sell prescription drugs to those on Medicare in Washington State, because they cannot afford to charge that little.
They are opting out of the program, not getting out of the retail prescription drug business.
I personally know two anesthesiologists (one in my church, and am related to another) who are in early 50's. They have both told me they will retire early if 0bamacare passes....
