My wife works for a doctor and has held every job in his office. from receptionist to medical assistant to billing clerk and currently runs the office so she knows what she's taliking about when it comes to this healthcare crap.
Imagine for a minute that you had to pass every bill that was PAID to you through the federal government. How fast do you think you would get paid. How would you like to have the federal government over see every procedure that you performed. How would you like it if you had to get some government hack to approve every procedure you performed. You might not think that this senerio is going to happen but mark my words, they currently do this when it comes to medicaid so why wouldn't they do it with a government run program.
There is no need for you to answer any of these questions unless you are either a doctor or you work in the medical field and can PROVE me wrong. The only PROOF is time itself......
I too work in an office, and the government is who dictates what we can charge for an office visit. If we charge anything other than what THEY specify, we can no longer accept Medicaid/Medicare....
Somehow I only see their hands getting more and more involved should healthcare pass....
