By the way if you know anything at all about " Obama Care " you would be aware that the operating rules are still being written and rolled out as we go along . Consequently when it first became the Law the Regulations were not fully developed . Complying with the ever increasing regulations of this Mega-Law are proving to be extremely expensive and as a result most medical practices find themselves struggling with compliance .

A strange business to say the least. You get a dirty look if your ask IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY, or WHAT WILL THIS COST, or ARE THERE LESS COSTLY WAYS TO DO THIS.
Your doctor will order all kinds of EXPENSIVE tests often not because they are needed but to prevent LAW SUITS.
I read somewhere that attorneys add 30% to American cost of medical care.
Also, on private insurance, a doctor charges say $85 for an office visit. Under your plan the insurance company pays $45 and you have a $20 copay-TOTAL $65 AND THAT IS PAID IN FULL. WHY WOULD AN UNINSURED PATIENT PAY $85. I hate the word FAIR as it is impossible to define
BUT IS THAT FAIR? Obamacare,medicare and medicade pay even less than private insurance. Like any other BUSINESS they need to be paid, pay rent, employees, expensive equipment etc etc etc-MAL PRACTICE INSURANCE. Who pays for those WHO DO NOT? Like any business it is added to the bill of the PAYING CUSTOMERS,
