A big majority of doctors are Pubs and fought this monster. It was forced on us without a single Pub vote in the House or Senate. What else can they do?

I had a dental extraction done by a very fine surgeon who does not take insurance. Patients pay that day. What they will do is fill out the verification forms for patients whose insurance companies would reimburse the patient.

It was so refreshing to go to a medical professional to whom I did not have to explain that I was paying my own bill. Besides that, the whole deal was very well run, the cost was reasonable, and her mind wasn't filled with insurance company guidelines.
