"There is ZERO benefit if you 30 years old. In fact, it is a sunk cost." And you give advice to young people on retirement plans??// " In most specialties, Medicare payments do not even cover the variable costs of providing the services." So why don't all MD's drop Medicare ????? Where would they get the patients to backfill.??? You sit under your green eye shade and listen to MD's piss and moan about how little money they get from Insurance and Medicare.... What happens to the amount that appears on a insurance statement that is called a "write off" ie the amount that insurance doesn't pay of the amount they billed. Is that taken as a business deduction on their tax return??? BTW, the post you sent the other day appeared to be a primer to show MD's how to account for a whole day if they don't have customers to fill it and even if they do have the customers..... There are practices that claim they see 50-100 patients a day per doctor....

[blolckquote]here is ZERO benefit if you 30 years old. In fact, it is a sunk cost. Because, you know, 30 year olds never get sick, have accidents, get cancer, etc...
