It is surprising, however, how many physicians out there really have disdain for people of low means. They dishonor their oath to first do no harm. But my dentist had a rant the other day about how HIS insurance deductible has doubled since the ACA. I asked him if his deductible had ever gone down? Then I asked him to explain how the ACA caused his deductible to double since it passed. All he could say was that it doubled. I told him that was a problem for his insurance company who is probably trying to bleed all they can from clients and blame it on the ACA. The I told him to try to get his insurance through the exchange in MD and see if he came out better. I also asked him why he was against the poor working class having health insurance? He said he would ultimately be paying more taxes...his accountant said so. I told him to stop using an accountant and do his own taxes on Turbo. He would save as much as the taxes he owed. He said I was probably right and then huffed out of the cubicle.
