Getting Paid ~ 40 cents "on the Dollar," I am in NO Position to employ Anyone!

"Socialized Medicine" will RAPIDLY devolve America into a "Third-World Nation," & our current "Non-Payment System" is about to Rapidly Bankrupt our Docs & Hospitals.

Plain Fact.

Our Docs, Nurses, EMT's, Hospitals, ER's, Medical Research Facilities, etc., ALL are the BEST our Culture has Produced!--We Have the BEST Medical Care the World Has EVER KNOWN!!

"IT AIN'T CHEAP!!"-------------------- "SO WHAT!!!"

The "Problem" is actually "simple;" a couple of years ago, I gave "Flu Shots" (which I Bought from the Suppliers @~$7.50/ dose)! I used to charge $ 15/dose.

Factoring in Supplies (Syringe, etc.) I "Profitted" ~ $1/ dose!

Since "Insurance" has MANDATED "Payment" for the "Flu Shot," I LOSE~$!.75 for EACH DOSE of the FLUVAX I Give!! I see 25-40 patients/day! Many of them need medications which their "Insurance Companies" refuse to "Cover!!" At least 10% of the people I Care for is "Gratis!!" NO "Business" can survive at the level of "payment" (less than 50% ) MANDATED by current "Law!"

In a Country as wealthy as ours, NO ONE should get "Second Class Medical Care!!"

But Some DO!!--because their "Insurance" is "Second Class!!"

We Don't have a "Medical Care" Problem--we have an "Insurance Coverage" problem!!

The "Insurance Industry" needs a COMPLETE OVERHAUL!!.

Consider "Medical Savings Accounts!!"

Doc
