So in essence again it’s “pay us more”. OK, where’s the money come from?

And why do you keep signing contracts with the government?

I think that it is a big mistake to make primary care physicians take the cuts in pay when the specialists are still raking it in. Hopefully Congress will wise up!

Changes have to be made somewhere – it seems that everyone says, “It’s not me!” The system needs to thorough examination/review but I don’t think the vested interests will allow that to happen.

(Thank you, Kevin for not using the “r” word in this post. That wasn’t so hard was it? Bravo!)

The good news here this Monday is that George Bush has frozen the medicare cutbacks, so that Congress will have another wack at Grassley-Baucus bill. We need to keep up the pressure. AARP played a huge roll in this matter…
