Well since YOU think Doctors are in it JUST for the money, why dont YOU go back to school for 8+ years to be a doctor and charge as little as possible, hell, since I assume youre NOT in it for the money, why not do it FOR FREE????
Lets see how long that lasts with 200,000 plus in student loans, plus insurance, plus wages for your nurses and technicians, the rent or mortgage of your office
Yeah, didnt think so...
Dude, after 8 years of school, I pretty much think they deserve it.
Now we see the reason why they are quitting. Because they won't be able to charge outrageous amounts for their work. Like charging the government for a full physical after asking a patient how do you feel.

so... they interviewed 403 doctors and 23% of them knew jack about the ACA?
what is the difference between the ACA and if the 15% of people had insurance? oh right... they don't get PAYED as much.
doctors complained about the new previsions for medicaid as well, it lowered their copay and payment for check ups.
it went from 80 bucks to 40-30, all they are angry about is having to do more work for a living.
i will say that malpractice needs to be looked at, that is a huge burden for the doctors who want to help people not get payed big bucks.

when a doctor doesn't participate, you can still go to them. you pay the doctor, the insurer reimburses you based on your plan.
Of those doctors who said they were participating in Obamacare, their cited reason was they “had to” because of existing contracts with insurers or medical providers.

Malpractice insurance is a huge part of the problem. How many professions have to pay 1/4 of their income for insurance?
