Florida Medicaid has cut hospital payments by $251 million since last summer. In NY state, an Emergency Department physician who treats your life threatening heart attack or multiple trauma is paid $17.00 by Medicaid.

Heck, a couple more dollars and the doc can buy a pack of smokes.

I overheard one of our doctors talking about this a few months ago. He also said that he earned $17.00 per hour for Medicare patients. That's less per hour than what our graduate nurses earn before they get pass their NCLEX exam.

If the Obama care goes through, I would think his percentage of Medicare/Medicaid patients will probably increase - maybe be the majority of his patients?

Can you please report more on the reality of what happens through the curent government controlled medical system (Medecaid and Medicare) or direct me to the best sources to explain the tragedy.

And yet, they want us to become Great Britain II with waiting lists out the kazoo for basic and even life saving medical care?

Surely the doctors can mount a protest still? NOT the AMA - they have sold out apparently to the socialists. But the doctors. UNITE and FIGHT - most Americans are happy with their healthcare. Let’s get together and stop this madness.
