"...“I want an English doctor, not a f*cking Paki.”..."

Hey that is about what we have to say here in Alabama when we go to the doctor.

If you want an in-network Aetna plan expect to have to go to either a Wholistic-hole healer who is not an MD or somebody with a name like Mohammed Hajee.
So we opt out of network and have to pay 100 percent up front and then wait to get a 70 percent reimbursement. A routine baby visit to a popular legitimate American MD will cost about $400 so it smarts.

This is the reason I think the medical profession needs to re-think their charges.

I think that when a person has to pay out of their own pocket, the doctor should lower the fee. I believe they rip-off the insurance companies enough to make up the difference, anyway.

And, if you hear of any doctor crying about "the cost of malpractice insurance" or "having to pay back the loans" consider this: what kind of home are they living in and what kind of car are they driving?

An example of cheap immigrant labor reducing Aetna's costs?

I live in Alabama and most doctors I know here are Indians not Pakis or Mohammed Hajee. Sorry to say but you are just a victim of racial stereotype.
