Doctors are being paid less to see patients than a janitor. Ar $25 per patient, there’s no financial incentive to see them. The government won’t raise their reimbursement rate. As a result - low info voters are left out in the cold.
Got to realize that's the basic visit fee, with no procedures. The visit is short and 4 or 5 patients can be present in examining rooms at once. Any kind of procedure (especially for Medicare, a little less for Medicaid) and the reimbursement goes way up. That's why we see the ophthalmologist in Florida collecting $20 million a year in Medicare reimbursements.
