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

like you have conceded post #2

"doctors in the US are paid way too much as it is"

But "the haves" always think "I deserve it" for one reason or other.

Of course, it is none of my business what you make, but if you claim "I am far from rich" that is meaningless without some admission of just how much you make. Rich people are constantly whining that they do not have enough money, and want to define the word "rich" so that it only includes those on the Forbes 400, or maybe even just the top 10 of the Forbes 400.

And if you want to refudiate the claim that "doctors are paid way too much money" well talking about expenses and long hours and such simply does NOT answer the question "HOW MUCH do they make?"

And others have replied to me "talk to a PCP" and generally, especially since they are not ANONYMOUS (like say on a message board) they are gonna tell me ZERO about how much money they make. Because it is, as we all know, none of my business.

I don't see the big deal myself, as I demonstrated by posting my own annual income for various years. It is what it is, and I have, and I do, work pretty hard for my money.
