[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1164357, member: 4362"] I think what he was telling me is that he could not afford to subsidize any more his work like he does on Medicare. In the case of a private insurance if the insurance does not pay the full amount the patient is charged the difference but under this pay schedule he would have to eat it all and he could not charge the difference to the patient so when you've built your practice up where you have all the patients you need why would you take more patients you'll lose money on. This, I think, is what he was talking about and if this continues then we will have a two tiered system of health care. Three actually. One for the government, one for the people who can pay and one for those who cannot pay and its no puzzle where the best doctors will be. [/QUOTE]
