Its already starting and when the docs leave in droves, look out.
My GP doctor quit last month. Going to work directly for a hospital doing emergency room stuff. Hospital will cover all malpractice and legal issues, and he’ll get a guaranteed paycheck every week.
And the patients of this young, smart, hard-working family doctor?
Well, I don’t blame him... But it really messes me up, as my kids and I have chronic medical conditions.
I’m a diabetic on insulin. Type 1 not 2. My endocrinologist told me last week he might have to withdraw from Tricare*, due to government not paying out.
I’m screwed. Thank you, fellow dumb a$$ citizens!
*Tricare isn’t welfare. I worked my buns off for it. It, along with military retirement, is supposed to be “deferred” compensation.
