Totally agree. I was just pointing out another explanation for the statistics. Believe me, no one hates socialized medicine or Obamacare more than I do- it’s going to coat me the last 10-15 years of a career I have been at almost 30 years. But we need to be intellectually honest with are arguments. And there are PLENTY of solid arguments against Obamacare. Good luck on your decision about surgery!

I feel for you doctors. I was just looking over my statement from my ENT referral. The doctor charged $180 for the visit and TriCare gave him only $20.
$20 friggin’ dollars for a specialist. Insane.
Have you thought about going to a ‘cash-only’ practice?

My daughter is going with a CO chiropractor and said that it’s a completely different experience. Everyone is happy and she doesn’t feel like a cow being prodded down the chute. She’s switching to TriCare Standard and the co-pays are about the same as the CO visits anyway.
From what I understand, a doctor doesn’t make as much money with CO, but the reduction of stress and increase in quality of life might make up for that.
