Like your medical acquaintances, my family doctor recently also gave up his practice to work for a hospital. Nice assured income, lower overhead and bookkeeping costs are the underlying reasons.

Another of my doctors, along with his partner, have consolidated their practices with a large medical combine. Same reason.

A third doctor has just plain retired at a youngish middle age....he also told me he's going to go to work for a hospital.

I pay for Medicare, of course, plus Mutual of Omaha, my supplemental insurance, has increased its premiums from $2100 a year to almost $5000 a year in the past 18 months ALONE thanks to ObamaCare. I'm getting deathly afraid to go through my mail and see an envelope with Omaha's company logo on the upper left!

Ah, the liberal Utopia is rapidly enfolding us, but methinks we'll be too tired, poor and ailing to even enjoy it.

I did not know supplemental policies had gone up so much. No way will we be able to afford anything like that.

Certainly appears that way.
