The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Prepare for a long sabbatical if at all possible. Take a long vacation. Take a leave of absence. Go on Paternity leave. Make yourselves scarce!!
Or scale back sharply, find a cushy government job, stage a work slowdown.
Go on strike!! Do not try to save the public from their folly, anymore than we could save the markets with Stimulus or Bailouts.
Been dealing with this for many years now and if the employer does not pay the premium, the insurance carrier doesn’t pay the doc. End of story.
Some of my docs are seeing an occasional patient show up with coverage through some special fed plan. We always have patient pay for the service and then refund them when/if the insurance company pays. Sometimes hard on the patient but the option is not to be seen or go elsewhere for treatment. My docs are no different than anyone else, they all have bills to be paid, too.
“Patients will be free to sign up for another plan in the exchange and start seeing another provider.”
So I wonder how long the patient can ride the merry go round getting care and screwing the providers?
I’m getting every procedure I can before 2014. ACA will not only hurt Doctors but patients as well. No one can afford to pay for real insurance soon and it won’t be available once the Insurance Co.’s are out of business, so Doctors won’t get paid, period. There will be no health care just bureaucracy! Sick Democrat/Socialist bastards!
