Insurers to pay doctors 30-40% less under exchange plans.

72. So you want him to pay the same amount, get a loan for the same amount, but an older house?

I have a friend who is struggling and calls her car her "toy" though she uses it as I do mine. Your complaint is they refer to their car as a "toy"?

They charge big fees but have big expenses also. Talk to a couple PCPs, find out what their net income is. You would probably be surprised.

Having been in and out of healthcare over the years, I've talked to many. I've also seen the system changing and getting worse and worse. Too many clinics are being bought out by corporations. Too many are getting paid too little and have to resort to that which then makes it more and more difficult to provide truly decent health care, instead being forced to go faster and faster and do bandaid care while ignoring the fact that people are complicated. This is very stressful to work in, with life and death decisions needing to be made by the dollar clock hour rather than by what is needed. And the providers' incomes keep dropping.

See the problem where it lies. Not in greedy doctors but in the insurance industry that exists for one reason. To make money.
