“6 figures” implies $100,000. Hardly incentive to go thru the process of becoming a Doctor. I have a client who’s 38 and just got certified as a cardiologist. Now he has to set up his practice, pay enormous mal practice insurance fees, find patients, build a trust with those patients and then pay hundreds of thousands back in school loans. Even At $300,000 a year he might pay his mortgage. By the time he’s 48/50 he can start enjoying a good income though.
What a myopic ignorant thing to state.
Never mind the millions upon millions of non-producing parasitical gibsmedats with outstretched hands demanding.
Always demanding.
For what they have to go through to be a doctor, then couple that with ambulance chasing lawyers, they need a 6 figure income. My now retired OB-GYN told me years ago before he retired that one of the reasons was his insurance cost alone. We’re taking maybe 20 years ago and his yearly premium then was over $100,000 a year. Then he had staff, office expenses to pay. Until you get the lawyers out of the exam room, it’ll only get worse. I’m so sick of seeing the billboard for “The Hammer” up and down the interstates telling everyone to call him if they have a “big rig” accident. Maybe if they didn’t drive like idiots and cut semi’s off and do stupid crap, they wouldn’t get in an accident!
I would observe that some of the outlandish and absurd charges from hospitals are totally out of line. They should be prosecuted under RICO.
And I seriously think there is a case to be made for that.
Good point. Most people don’t understand that doctors are small businessmen. They have a lot of up front expenses and ongoing expenses that go along with their practices. They have to pay their staff, huge malpractice insurance premiums and a bunch of other expenses.
The dims and their press had to demonize doctors to get the public to accept the feds taking over the medical industry to “save us” from predatory doctors. Obama was a big part of that.
Also, Obamacare is actually Hillarycare from the 1990’s. Back then, the dims would not get on board with that fearing that they would be voted out of office. Obamacare is the same garbage just renamed. I wonder why hillary never brought that up. Bet she got paid off.
Winning!
For instance, in June, with the support of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the Trump administration’s Department of Labor finalized a rule permitting sole proprietors, employees of small businesses, and small business owners with a “commonality of interest”—such as living in the same state or working in the same industry—to join together to purchase association health plans.
Since then all the small mutual insurance companies have been bought out and centralized...……………..
You are correct about that.
I have spoken to some VERY bright and gifted young people who changed their minds about going to med school once they saw where Obamacare was headed.
Which is why IMHO my definition of “socialism” is opposite:Obamacare is the same garbage just renamed.
- Socialism
- Cynicism towards society, and concomitant naiveté towards government.
Yeah . . . named “affordable.”As if.
My hero. Sigh.
4. The election to congress of people who will do the right thing, not fearing the media and leftist demagogoguery.
He's a Demwit, no matter how he self-describes, and he'll be drinkin' on election night, and early.
You should be able to buy insurance a la carte.
Sean Hannity had on some doctors who had low cost plans. This should be nationwide.
Funerals are where you get your real savings!
Doctors used to accept a pig or a dozen eggs
"For instance, in June, with the support of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the Trump administration’s Department of Labor finalized a rule permitting sole proprietors, employees of small businesses, and small business owners with a “commonality of interest”—such as living in the same state or working in the same industry—to join together to purchase association health plans. AHPs allow thousands of people to buy insurance as a large group and across state lines, dramatically increasing health insurance options. These plans also lower costs for those in an association because they can negotiate prices as a group in the same way large employers can. Further, these plans don’t allow people to be denied coverage or forced to pay higher prices because of a preexisting condition, protecting those with health problems from the possibility of losing coverage or having to pay significantly more than other members of an association."
This will bankrupt Bobocare by 2024. If the Dems have regained a smidgen of power in a plausible post-Trump downturn, they will drive the stake through their own hearts - again - by proposing single-payer at that time.
Those who said -- before 2010 -- that the GOP was finished, hopefully they live long enough to have their noses ground into the grindstone again.
Not only did Trump revive America, but he has smashed the electoral paradigm for generations, and the reverberations are waves that have yet to arise from the seabed of our democracy...
That’s what they accepted when they lived on the frontier ... and couldn’t treat anything more serious than diarrhea.
