Or if you want to point to Medicare, just look to how they base the payments for doctor visits.... It is a portion of the ordinary and customary charges... So if your costs are $50 per visit, you have to jack it up to include your profit, Medicare's discount, and project that figure 3 years in the future... SO The visit that cost $50, for when you might profit $10 if you get $60 you might charge $100 to have Medicare discount the bill back to $60...
Or might a doctor have an xray machine in-house so his elderly patient do not have make a second appoint at the hospital... It would be a sin if he made a slight profit from THAT service (especially when he charged less the the Hospital)... The problem with the Health Car debate is it is so nuanced that to reduce it to "greedy insurance companies and doctors) makes it a meaningless shouting match... My solution??? Get a serious bi-partisan panel whose recommendations Congress would have vote yea or nay... If Health Care is so demanded by the American People, it will wait six-eight months for folks to get it right.. Instead Obama demands action, regardless of viability, now for his political resume...
