What office in the Administration is in charge of a truly bad idea like this? Isn't that the same group that Michele Omama worked for before the election? Taxpayers money is being used for this.....Why don't we just give the money to the Doctors who have already been shortchanged in the payment of their bills..... Another Communistic idea from the Dept of Health and Human Services.... Another BIG BROTHER IDEA gone amuck! Eleven percent of the doctors will be called a third time. The callers will identify themselves as calling "on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services." They will ask whether the doctors accept private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, and whether they take "self-pay patients." The study will note any discrepancies between those answers and the ones given to mystery shoppers. The administration has signed a contract with the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago to help conduct the survey. Jennifer Benz, a research scientist at the center, said one purpose of the study was to determine whether the use of mystery shoppers would be a feasible way to track access to primary care in the future. The government could survey consumers directly, but patients may not accurately recall how long it took to get an appointment, and their estimates could be colored by their satisfaction with the doctor, researchers said.
