It has even hit medicine. Surgical cases are down across the country since people can’t afford the copays in this fiscal environment and put off their elective cases. We used to think medicine was recession proof but Obama has managed even to undercut that. And that was BEFORE Obamacare.
A lot of people are screwing the docs on the co-pays too. I get so angry at people thinking the General Docs are overpaid.
The amount of headaches just to keep an office open is staggering.
medicine has been down for a while. Electie cases. I had some hand surgery a couple of years ago in a practice that usually would have a six week wait. I had my choice of dates and times in the suites five days before the surgery.
