[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blame the insurance companies. Or rather insurance CEOs who need another yacht. Or rather government that won't regulate this abuse Or rather Republicans who oppose single payer[/quote] Actually, blame Medicare and Medicaid, which pay rates that are so low that doctors lose money on each visit. The rest of us are charged to subsidize these visits. Concierge practices are a way to move away from accepting government funded patients (because, yes, the government limits the maximum charge for M&M). And you are very uninformed if you think your life will be better under a single payer system (unless you currently have no insurance).[/quote]
