Out of Control
Have you ever had the desire to look at someone and say "You are barking up the wrong tree, dude?" I had the oppurtunity to do just that last night, and took it. One of the women in our church was complaining about how her daughter-in-law's private pediatric practice had to hire another doc just so they could split the malpractice insurance four-ways instead of three. So, now instead of $33,000 a year, it's $25,000 a year! She then made a statement about how the money they charge for medical care is somewhat justified between the malpractice insurance and their schooling. My response was "You've obviously never been sitting on over $50,000 worth of medical bills, have you. We are, and believe me, what they charge is anything but justified." She shut-up about it real quick.

Are you sure that you have all the facts on this subject? Do you know how much the a doctor truly gets once the health insurance has cut out their portion? That women's daughter is only trying to make a living just like everyone else in this world. It is not that doctors fault that you have a disease that requires a lot of medical care. I don't think you were justified in saying anything but, that is just my opinion. You seem to feel you are knowledgeable in most all areas of life but I don't think you have all the facts on this one. Just because you are upset that you have medical bills don't take it out on other people.
