I'd like to know just where it says anyone that works in a hospital or a doctors office should have to give thier services for free after years of schools and residency requirements and paying off student loans.
The only possibly way you DUmp rats are going to get free health care is if GOD himself healed you and asked for nothing in return. That's the only way it will ever be "FREE" to you. Your idea of free healthcare is for someone else to get stuck with the cost. So in not so many words to you FOAD, your freelaoding crack addicts.
I have worked for many, many years as a self-employed medical transcriptionist from home. About a year ago, the family doctor I worked for closed her practice. She said she was not making money and in fact, she was losing money. She is one of those caring family doctors who also volunteers her time, services, and knowledge at community clinics for free.
Anyway, she didn't have a partner in her practice but she split the overhead with another family doctor in the same office. Between these two doctors, they had these employees: A receptionist, an office manager, two medical assistants, and two nurses. And then there was me but I was not considered an employee.
The reason they had so many people working for them? Fighting the government for Medicaid and Medicare payments - as small as they were, and insurance companies. The documentation required for reimbursement was unreal (that's where I came in).
It is a losing proposition for doctors to be in single practices these days. Can you possibly imagine what it would be like if every patient coming through her door was covered under government health care?
