[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]everyone needs to push back on insurance companies and politicians.  they refused to increase reimbursement for services for the last 10-15 yrs.  when reimbursements stay flat, the system needs to churn more patients which leads to all these complaints.

this is the start of socialist healthcare.  when everyone is covered and they all need to be seen, quality of care goes down.[/b]

wake up to the realities of what socialism.[/quote]

You prefer poor people dying quietly rather than accessing healthcare? [/quote]

no i dont.  insurance companies are not passing on the increase in premiums to the system.  look at the insurance company salaries, have increase dramatically in the last decade but no increases to the reimbursements.  this is not a joke, the docs making 250k a year 15 years ago are still getting 250k, now does that sound right?? have you seen your salary increase in the last 15 yrs?  if it didn't, where would your job satisfaction be?  would you recc your job to other people so they can enter the field?? the answer is no.

All I am saying is that insurance companies are allowed to do what they want and me as a doctor and you as a patient have no control what so ever.  You're pissed with the quality of care, we are pissed at you being pissed not understanding what we are going through and the insurance companies are making money hand over fist at levels not seen before.

At the end, insurance companies need to pass on the profits to the system so docs are happier, more people enter the field, more patients can be seen because we have a bigger work force and quality of care goes up.
