[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All slimeballs.  Pay the insurance AND dr. Slimeball because they want to see 10 vs 30 patients AND earn the same amount.  They don’t give a damn about you - you are just a pawn in the game of greed.  [/quote]

I dont know why DCUM has an issue with doctors wanting to make money,,,shouldnt lawyers work for free then too, cpa's, teachers..[/quote]

Because they're bringing down the healthcare system. I don't see how you could possibly compare a public school teaching working for$65,000 with a gastroenterologist making $500k. Or a radiologist making $600k. Sure, they complain about their pay equally, but they're hardly the same.[/quote]

Lol, no.

Healthcare policy and the insurance companies it has enabled are doing that. Not doctors. [/quote]
DP I agree with you. But "good" healthcare policy also means less money for doctors.[/quote]
PP, and I probably agree with that. [/quote]

Countries that pay their docs less have more concierge practice so the pay evens out for the doctors(sorry dcum) but you end up creating even more a two tier system for the haves and have nots--look at England, eastern Europe, Canada...actually just listened to this happening right now in canada---need elective surgery(it may be medically called elective but when you cant walk because your knee hurts like hell you will probably call it something else)--pay 10 K canadian to have the doc do it next week or waitch 18 months for free
ultimately what DCUM cant understand it is all about supply and demand....we dont have a demand for middle mgmt (most of the DCUM peeps here) but we do always have a demand for someone to fix illness...[/quote]
I feel like you are implying the US is not a "two tier" system. Which I guess is correct, there are multiple tiers - the people with no access to any care except emergency care, people with Medicaid, people with high deductible ACA plans, and people with Cadillac PPO plans with out of network bennies.
