People should be mad at their legislators for allowing it to get this way. This is not to say that insurers don’t have their problems but they are but one cog in the wheel of grift and dysfunction.

You're right, but people don't see, nor are they are directly impacted, by the things doctors do to pad their reimbursements.

Seriously? You’re complaining about a doctor earning $500K when they are actively saving lives and work 80 hours a week? You’re comparing their $500K to a CEO’s $10 million in earnings where they routinely deny people health coverage?

No doctors work 80 hours a week. Come on. Most barely work 35.

DC’s school and friend group has mainly doctors’ kids. They are all millionaires who have multiple homes and/or travel abroad for every school break and long weekends. They fly first class for a family of five or six. They drive the most expensive cars in town.

I see them at sports practices and games and all the school functions. I don’t think they work 80 hours.

Again, you really have no idea. I’m married to one

A cell phone is a pocket sized tracking device.

Probably a burner phone.

Right, but you can't hang onto a burner phone that you've used near the scene of a crime. it's an easy way for the police to track you down.

That phone has been destroyed and is sleeping with the "fishes."

Most kids in med school are the children of doctors. They already come from money and those are family homes in a trust. Money begets money.

It's not the same guy. Looks totally different.

Also a different color jacket.

Definitely for dexterity. It was cold that morning. Which is likely why he went inside the Starbucks for a bit to remain warmed up.

I think he had a spotter at the other hotel. That’s who was speaking to on the phone. And that’s how he knew the target was on the move and able to get into position only 5 minutes in advance.

This is the best explanation I have heard. Why else would he be in the phone minutes before.

And taking the bus means no car tracking or license plates.

This has to be a joke. If this were the case everyone would be going into medicine and no one would burn out / leave in droves.

So he changed his jacket…

Agree. Their chance to get him was in the first couple of hours after the murder. He’s long gone. And the NYPD looks completely incompetent. They haven’t even figured out this guy’s name and they have a pretty clear picture and DNA.

Cardiologists actually provide an extremely valuable service. Insurance companies suck money out of the system. Do you really not see the difference?

Do you want to negotiate prices with all of your doctors on your own?

Yes, actually. I’d also like to know the cost of a procedure or visit up front, thanks.

To add, I'd also like to know how many billable personnel (doctors and all) I am expected to receive invoices from, I hate the trickling in from outside providers. So shady.

agree

i especially loathe the Urgimeds who codify themselves as Specialists to double their copays and their charges. Health insurance does nothing.

One recently coded itself at time of billing as an ER.

such BS. And they are in BCBS as an in net work urgent care. such BS. BCBS lets them charge that, pays their share and then we are supposed to pay along and pay 2x or 3x!?

Let’s not forget the extra facility fees. My insurance gives me one annual mammogram that they claim to cover 100%. I looked on my insurance website and selected one of the providers. The mammogram was free but then I received a $600 facility charge. I fought with them for months before I finally got it paid.

Seriously. NYPD is funded to the tune of $5.8 BILLION dollars and they look like clowns.

Thats what people said about the police w/r to the Bryan Kohberger case in Idaho too-they aren't going to show their hands right now.

He got caught because he used his personal phone and car around the crime scene. I don’t think they have that going for them right now
