“Yes. Bit one important difference is that medical technology has become much more complex and expensive.”
The main reason its more expensive is due to insurance. My Mom is on Medicare so when she goes to our doctor its $175.00 when I go to the same doctor and pay cash its $40.00
Your mom is charged 175.00 because reimbursement for that bill from
Medicare is $30.00-$50.00! It is the same for my mom and myself I always
pay cash my visit is 65.00 Medicare is billed 175.00 and 40.00 is payed to
the doc! She saw a throat specialist once the doc told me she was paid
30.00 for a tonsillectomy by Medicare HOW CAN A DOC SURVIVE ON THAT? Such a shame our best and brightest not able to make a GOOD
living after their YEARS OF SCHOOLING AND INTERNSHIPS!
Government DESTROYS all that is good!!!
