I don't really agree with this. Doctors in private practice have overhead like rent, electricity,and employees to pay. They also are paying for malpractice insurance. Add that to the fact that many doctors leave med school with quite a bit of student loans to pay off and insurance companies don't want to pay much. To make a living wage they often have to take as many patients as possible just to live.Don't know how to Edit our own posts, but I wanted to add that despite my good insurance, I still think most doctors are greedy money -lusters, who over schedule patients like an assembly line!
