[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is normal with the advent of all the damn lawyers driving up malpractice insurance and obamacare. [/quote] +1[/quote] Hogwash. It has to do with the insurance companies. Our doc instituted a similar fee structure this year. They simply could not sustain the practice at the rates the insurance companies were paying them. The insurance companies, on the other hand, are pressed by increasing technology/medical costs and the fact that there are not enough healthy people in the insured pool. (Plus, they need to pay their executives bonuses and salaries that would make Imelda Marcos blush!) I haven't made up my mind on Obamacare, and malpractice is no small issue, but these fees are coming from someplace considerably more complicated than the pp's politically motivated pablum makes clear.[/quote]
