Mrs. Buesa,
I sincerely hope you are not pointing = to me as trying to foment some
kind of fear to drive voting in one = direction or another. I did
state in my original post that I = hoped we could avoid the political
vitriol, but I guess because the future = is somewhat foggy as to what
is going to happen, I should have just left = out mention of political
parties/presidents in my original post. = We're mere days away from
the final reconning, so if people haven't done = their due diligence
and research on each candidate and the issues we're = facing, basing
your decision on some comments on a forum might be a poor = way to
base such an important decision.
The trending in POL's is = currently having a DIRECT effect on my
employment situation, so that was = the motivation for my original
post. I would like to = understand the landscape and ecosystem of
private labs, POL's, large = references labs and the like, and I am
only just starting to understand = the labrynth that is the medicaire
billing system. How this = all plays out is going to effect us all
directly, so it is I guess = understandable that opinions and emotions
almost can't be filtered out of = the discussion. Our livelihoods are
on the line.
My sincere = appologies though if I have ruffled too many feathers
here. I was merely looking for deeper insight and = knowledge into
the topic. One topic that seems to have been = raised though, and
wich I tend to agree, is there is some bloat, or = overinflation of
procedures going on, which cuts to the heart of the issue = --
monetary incentives to inflate charges and thus revenue, especially if
= Pathologists are now able to get an extra cut of the lab-fees
involved. Personally I don't think it's a bad idea at all to
scrutinize very closely what is going on with this, even if it upsets
the = balance and flows of money... if it leads to a more efficient
and just = system.
