[quote=Anonymous]This makes total sense to me and I don't have a problem with it.

I am a private reading tutor.   I am able to handle a certain amount of clients.  Right now I'm full up; I have no room for more.   If I decide I want to earn more money over the next few years, I can either raise my hourly rate, or shorten the amount of times I will see my students.

Doctors who are primarily paid through insurance companies can't raise their rates, right?  Insurance companies negotiate their rates at a certain level for everyone.   And so to earn more money, doctors either stop taking insurance completely (if they can get away with that -- have to have a wealthy client base) or they start streamlining their patients -- what used to be a 20 minute appointment is now a ten minute one, and a 10 minute one becomes a five minute one.

I had one doctor stop taking insurance and I'd rather all the best ones not do that.      I have found a few doctors whom I love, and would gladly pay extra to have access to their knowledge, to be able to see them the day I need them, and to have them be able to take more time with me when I really need them to.

$500 per year does not seem outrageous to me.[/quote]
