"Those are all legitimate concerns and ones that were problems before health insurance reform passed."
No doubt. Unfortunately, at least to me, it doesn't seem like a lot of these issues were addressed. Medicare will still not be an attractive option for doctors. Some Illegals are still getting health care at tax-payer expense. Finally, there is still a looming shortage of general care physcians. "Sucks for those not chosen but researchers are interested in the outcome." Yes. That does suck for those not chosen. It's like people enrolling in multi-arm cancer study and getting the placebo. It seems inhumane to me. "We obviously need more general practitioners, we need malpractice reform and we fundamentally need to revise the fee for service model and move more toward a quality model that rewards doctors for people being healthy. That's going to be tough though. But at least the first steps have been taken. They say a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Lets hope so." All good points. We differ on whether the step is in the right direction though. I see more bureaucracy and higher costs. Hope I am wrong. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319251 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
