FF, my son had brain surgery as a 4 year old - he had a cyst the size of an egg, if not larger.
the system worked well for him and it sounds like it worked well for you, too.
i do agree a government system would not work as well in similar circumstances.
some very smart and capable people would like to make decent cash and work reasonable hours, too. and not carry $100k in debt and have to worry about all the paperwork, etc.
i'm not sure those g-docs would be as bad you think, but i do agree that the docs in that system probably wouldn't be as good as going to the few gurus for much more money.
one problem is that everyone can't go to those gurus, even in the current system. the question is - who gets shut out and why.
as for cutting fees by 50%, a 50% price cut on hospital aspirin still makes each one several dollars, so i don't have enough information to gauge whether it was a real good deal. you seem to be happy, though, and that is what matters.
congrats on the good outcome. |
