Doctors have historically been the watchdogs of the U.S. medical system, with the American Medical Association scaring New Dealers into dropping national health coverage from the Social Security Act and then the AMA shredding Harry Truman's reform efforts in the late 1940s. But a new poll and other significant indicators suggest that doctors are turning against the health-insurance firms that increasingly dominate American health care.
doctors are getting sued too much and they also are not makin any money on medical. it's no longer is profitable to become a doctor in this country. that is why so many are coming from india cheaper. healthcare workers, even doctors, are not seeing real wages do anything but decrease.
My family doctor runs a small but busy clinic. He told me during my last checkup that he pays $12,000 ,monthly, or $145,000 annually for his insurance. He has never been sued or had any legal issues in almost 30 years of practicing medicine. He said back in the early 90s he was paying about $12,000 a year! Something has to change. He said about half of the charge for an office visit goes to paying his insurance coverage! His office vists were $49 in the early 90s, today they are $125! That is how you and I are affected by corrupt and greedy attorneys.
