People in the .gov agencies are in it for the power and control.

The age of groupthink.

Good article…very interesting part about government imposed medical billing practices.

Let's hear it for socialized medicine.

Clap for carers!

The age of socialized medicine.

Thanks to Deep State we now have a de facto NHS.

A Big Med to go along with Big Pharma.

Ping. This is an important look into the mechanics of Ivermectin suppression.

Thus really got goosed thanks to GWB’s Porkulus, which included those EMR/EHR regs that caused so many independent docs to retire or get eaten by health systems.

Something else we have to thank the Bush family for.

Summary: doctors who accept Medicare and Medicaid patients can be absolutely screwed by regulators if they say a word that displeases the feds.

Deep State is patient.

God help us.

[who knows what evil?]

Ditto.

Before Medicare, you'd simply write it off as your good neighbor duty. Now you don't get a choice. CMMS (the actual administrative agency) requires you to send a bill. Twice. Or maybe three times. Whatever it takes to turn the bill into bad debt. Then you have to send it to a collection agency. Your only alternative is for your group to bring it up in its Board meeting and declare it a write-off that gets noted in the minutes.

the only point I'd bring up on this is, for those not on medicare or medicade, you have to be your own patient advocate. Any public hospital that accepts federal funding MUST write off a certain percentage of 'charity'. (which they in turn write off on their corporate taxes). BUT, you have to know enough to navigate the hospital's billing system to get your request for charity so you don't end up with collection agencies on your phone every two days. Most hospitals have an onsite patient advocate or information officer. They would be your contact person to explore the charity application details. Good luck.

I believe the govt is now threatening medical licensing of any MD who prescribes Ivermectin.

[Baldwin77]

Obamacare also inflicted lots of regulation on physicians and hospitals.

re in it for the power and control

And the glory and the money. There are "Thank you Dr. Faucci" signs plastered all over the upper level fed-bureaucracti neighborhoods of NW DC. And look at Faucci's annual salary. Bet you didn't know a high level gubmint bureaucrat could earn a salary like that.

Why do “Doctors” support covid panic and the CDC?

Why do “Teachers” want to teach critical race theory and force children into masks?

Why does “Law Enforcement” protect rioters and imprison patriots?

I expect you’ll find they all have the same answer.

[Openurmind]

Good, thank you.

There are literally millions of physicians around the world, and the great bulk of them truly wish to treat their patients well.

99% of fbi are good guys and gals
