I tell you what I’ve noticed from my own experience. A
couple of years ago, when I was paying my own doctor bills;
I noticed that the bills were reasonable. I paid as I went
by check. THEN, Obamacare went into effect and almost
immediately, with the “government” paying - my bills kept
getting higher and higher. Of course, the doctor and his
office staff had a LOT MORE PAPERWORK and the doctor has to
interact more with his computer screen than with the patient
to comply with the prying eye of “Obamacare”.
Now of course he hasn't said anything since then if his Doctor had to raise his price to to the increase of the paper load, but I am sure he can afford the increase
