Talk to the Europeans... they get damn good care at 1/2 the cost.

Not even close to what Americans get. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

What's it like to be a part of the problem... a cost center in the industry?

As I believe my last post clearly reflected, our job is to help physicians get paid by a government bureaucracy that is one of the worst in the world. I doubt if we have a single customer who thinks of us as a cost center.

I can tell you that when a physician is being screwed by government payors, they are quite pleased to pay our small fee to straighten it out for them. We are no more part of the problem than attorneys, CPAs, and others who are paid to negotiate difficult circumstances imposed by our bloated government.

I would gladly give up my medical systems business if we weren't needed. But the reality is that the reason we have, indisputably, the best health care system in the world, is that we have competition to assure it happens.
