It should not matter who is paying the bill. Money paid out directly from your pocket or as a cheque from an insurance company is your money. You are the one who has paid all the premiums. Some doctors as their own often consider insurance money, and patient is left out of any information about the cost of the treatment and the length of the treatment. Doctor s fees are out of reality and border on the blackmail and the highway robbery.
Doctors say, they have spent many years learning what they know and someone has to pay for it.
I agree, but the payment should be within the scope of reality and fairness. He can work year after year, never having the perspective of the additional reward for the past years. I personally think it is a very bad idea that will still further erode theexisting and ailing public health system. We in Alberta have made too many medical cuts without giving them a thorough thought. It is easy to destroy, but sometime impossible to restore.
