(21,646 posts)Not network hospital pay so the doctors there are for the Canadian payment and individual practice with more input on care planning.
When as now most doctors are being forced out of private practice in the U S . , I wonder where 2nd possible differing opinions will ever come from esp. if they are all on the same or similar hospital rolls, where there are strict flows to adhere to regarding care, and the time they can spend with a patient is all bean counting
University med school hospitals maybe will remain an independent force in that regard?
Getting more corporate on both ends with the patient in the middle here in the USA .
I agree plenty got access with ACA but a Canadian plan would have worked better IMO.
Some doctors like politicians do go into it for one rea$on only. Most I have met do not and they do not have a lot of business experience , so they lose out when cost cutting /profit is not their bottom line and instead their priority is patient care and the payments start dropping like the article states.
Hospital doctor networks of course are more business focused than private practices in general
There are money fraud disasters in all fields and should be in check as this administration has made progress in that respect with Medicare .
