Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 President Obama has said that he wants to cut the amount of money that Medicaid pays doctors. (Because they make WAY too much from Medicaid now -- as evidenced by how many of them are scrambling to sign up to accept Medicaid!) He also said that a doctor would rather make $30,000 for cutting off the leg of someone with diabetes than treating the diabetes. IS he insane???? First of all, a SURGEON would do the operation. Secondly, the SURGEON would only make around $700 from Medicare/Medicaid. Yes, a hospital would charge a lot for that, but the hospital does not make the decision to send the patient to the surgeon in the first place. And people called Bush stupid?????? Finally, guess who has a BIG campaign planned in support of HR 3200 scheduled for the fall???? If you guessed BIG PHARMA, you'd be correct!!!!!!!!!! Still think this is a good idea???????
