Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Once again I think we're in a relatively unique position to demonstrate how a practice can take the high road and succeed. We each take on some share of the burden of supporting our communities. Maybe this takes the form of a percent of our care that is given to those who fall between the cracks of gov't assistance and the ability to afford health care (a frighteningly large number in this wealthy nation), maybe it means accepting low paying gov't insurance as a part of our work. I don't know what the percents should be for any practice and would not presume to dictate. Let it not be so much that it detracts from our ability to deliver superb care in a vital and sustainable practice, yet let it be enough that we may stand in the public venue and decry the iniquities of our crazy health care " system.
