John-David F Rott :
“What’s really tragic is that it’s some of the best doctors that are quitting. My doctor quit months ago.”

That’s not a coincidence, John-David. It’s always going to be some of the best, the most independent, the ones who can think outside the box and need to that will walk away.

There will be exceptions, but Medicare and, now, ObamaCare, select for a doctor who can stand having the gov’t looking over his shoulder, who’s okay making a mediocre wage, who can look the other way & ignore treatments not covered even if the right decision, who can prescribe something on the approved list even if there is something much better, with less or no side effects. HHS will get the kind of doctors they pay for and allow and we will be stuck with them.

The souls of those just under the top tier that think they can deal with the heavy gov’t intrusion and river of regulation will die a slow death, as they force themselves to stop caring. Dr. Kiteck is acting in self-defense, to save himself that death. I wish him well in whatever he decides to do.

Third-Party Insurance vs First-Party Insurance

The problem with healthcare:  since the FDR Administrations wartime wage-controls enacted in the 1930′s and their “solution” of allowing companies to offer health insurance in lieu of a bigger salary. In employer-provided — third-party — care, the 2 negotiating “on your behalf” are NOT negotiating on your behalf; their interests both conflict with yours: your employer wants to pay in as little as possible, “your” insurance company wants to pay out as little as possible. who represents YOUR interests? In first-party care — “private” insurance, you do. It’s between you and your potential insurers and, like any other business, they’ll want yours and will find a way to cover as many as possible, the ideal and the not-so-ideal candidate. Something for everyone. Maybe not every company will cover every individual, but someone will. Heard of “assigned risk” in auto insurance? Extended warranties provided for out-of-warranty products? There’s a creative business solution to every problem, unless The Government shoves its nose in to “fix” the problems that the government, not the market, causes.
