Thank you René. Couldn't agree more. As a Stage 3C ovarian cancer patient, I would be bankrupt right now if not for insurance.  I've been on/off chemotherapy for the past five years, and at nearly $4,000.00 a treatment, not to mention nearly $200,000.00 in surgery costs ....... The monthly cost of insurance pales in comparison to the cost of a catastrophic illness.

Tell that to all those who have pre-existing medical conditions that can now buy health insurance.

Hmmm...I think more people should have paid attention to Obamacare two years ago when it was being shoved down eveyones throat. Oh well.. as old saying goes..."You ain't seen nottin' yet"! I'm just amazed that there are so many in the profession who are surprised about the changes beginning to take place, there are many, many more to come in 2013 & 14 and all of them affect your job or lack thereof. :)
 
Everyone had the opportunity to change things on November 6th - they chose not to. So, you live with it.
 
Yours,
David

While this stinks on many levels, I have to take issue with the "shift wealth from specialists to family practice" - family practice docs have been the frontline of medicine, all the while earning less than a quarter of what specialists earn. It's about time they get a boost.
Too many specialists earn over a million a year, while the family practice guys/ladies can barely pay their student loans.
