[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nearly every PCP in this area is now switching to concierge service.  No one wants to take ObamaCare any more because if it’s horrendous reimbursement rates, paperwork,  productive quotas, etc. etc. Now it has ruined access to virtually all PCPs for everyone with insurance, because doctors have decided they’ll take zero insurance.  Primary care is increasingly becoming a luxury for the ultra elites who can shell out additional thousands of more dollars per year to keep a PCP on retainer while the rest of us get stuck with nothing or impossible routes to overcome to get access for simple primary care.  Isn’t more government intervention in healthcare great?  We can all have equal healthcare when it is crap for everyone and hardly anyone can access it.  Thanks ObamaCare. [/quote]

What a crock of shit.  The "horrendous reimbursement rates" are among the highest IN THE WORLD.  The real problem is that there is too much greed in healthcare.[/quote]

Not for general practitioners.  The reimbursement rates are heavily skewed towards specialists.  A GP makes about as much as a 20 year UPS driver.[/quote]

Doctors are not the issue.  Yes, a few make real money.  Vast majority do not.  Moreover, even if some do, I have no issues with doctors being overpaid on the margins.  [b]I want some of our brightest students to enter medicine, and if compensation helps achieve that goal I am okay.[/b]

So by that logic, big law attorneys are all geniuses?  Why do you assume money/comp will result in the brightest and not the greediest?[/quote]
