I operate on at least 2 illegal immigrants each month who pay me nothing, and the children's hospital at which I operate charges them nothing also.

I am glad this gentleman is so charitable, but I wonder where he and the children's hospital makes up their expenses from these "free" medical prodcedures? Ditto for the non-medicaid approved drugs he dispenses for "free."

He says as follows: “Solution: I have a foundation here in Atlanta supported 100% by private funds which supplies all of these contact lenses for my Medicaid and illegal immigrants children for free.”

By the way, where do you “make-up” the expense of your charitable contributions?

He eats it. IT’s written off as non-collectable. I think every doctor has done this in some form.

I’ve heard people say that money talks. It is illegal in Canada to provide medical care under the table.

One question I have is in regards to cosmetic surgery. Does anyone know what will happen? I assume that plastic surgeons practicing cosmetic surgery, (not the result of injuries) will be exempt from Obamacare. Or will they? anyone know?

from people like me who pay the full fare after negotiating a reasonable rate. By that I mean, as an example, I was charged $300 aspirin, which I didn’t recall taking. I was on morphine at the time, so why bother with aspirin?

Got the pill reduced to $15 which in mind covered ordering, dispensing, handling and finally delivery to me. Seemed reasonable. There have been other costs over the years I felt need to be negotiated but for the most part I just pay them.
