I had read about a Canadian doctor that moved to the US, set up practice hoping to make more money. She was here 5 years and, yes, made more money but went back to Canada as the extra money wasnt worth the headache. I've also read that if universal health care went into effect, with all the billers that would be laid off, our GDP would drop 30% and really increase unemployment. What a mess whoever created health insurance has made!!! We are dependent now.

I'd really like to see a source for that IDIOTIC number. Since healthcare as a whole represents about 17% of our GDP, how could the small billing portion represent 30%?????
We did all our billing in-house at a cost of 3.4% of receipts. If you used a relatively expensive outside billing service it would run 7%, so let's use 5% as an average. 5% of 17% is 0.85%, a long way from 30 % I have a hard time believing anyone could read that number and think it was true, so I doubt it passes the "smell" test. In addition, I wouldn't worry about unemployment for these billers when the system is replaced with a huge government bureaucracy, wee all know how efficient those workers are.
