Reply #48: These days here in the good ole

[MuseRider]

Us of A the docs are lucky to give even short shrift to their patients. Having been a nurse before the DRG's and seeing how it went from good but expensive to barely adequate but more expensive to now when you have to stay with your loved ones in the hospital and pay bank breaking payments forever after and get really POOR care from everyone I would say this is a huge step up. I have not looked and I should but I would think this would help the docs with less paperwork, less hassles with the insurance MBA's who say what the docs think is needed is really not etc. Having been in health care and having just spent a month and a half with my dying brother in the hospital I can tell you there is NO CARE even in a good hospital and we saw the docs once a day if we were lucky, nobody on weekends. We need serious change and my husband who was a doc thinks the plan would work. Just my thoughts, no small change will help this now.
