Doctors need more money!I haven't heard anything in my state, but I personally think that this is so stupid. Soon doctors are going to get paid what sports stars get paid.......Oh wait, do they already get paid as much in a year? I don't know what their average salary is but they are getting paid a lot as it is.

Doctors need more money!This is a common thing when physicians getting out of school they do not have the funds to run a practice so they are basicaly asking there patients to fund them financially, this would in turn be like a private doctor although this is a bad thing when it comes to elderly or under incomed people to expect less from there physician just because of there finacial situation. I agree this is a scary thing and hopfully will not be a new normal for medical practices. Same goes to prescriptions |

Doctors need more money!Solar, drug companies and the medical profession run this country. They are the big money people with all the lobbying power and until our federal goverment gets ahold of the medical industry as a whole then the doctors won't be controlled. Oh, but I forgot congressmen and senators have bigger fish to fry like steroids in baseball and Spygate!!!! |

Doctors need more money!My Aunts doctor told her he was charging patients becouse he has so many that he can`t keep up with all of them, so I guess he just wants the ones that can afford to give him 1500 a year |

Doctors need more money!He must be a private Dr. because a hospital is non profit . Private doctors can mark procedures up and charge a fee if they are in high demand to secure a set # of patients and in sure that they will still be paid regardless if you see them or not. Yes it should be a crime and the Gov.should set a limit to what i call insane for the unfortunate but thats the great Gov. we have. Solar i'm sorry to hear this about your Aunt i wish her the best! |

Doctors need more money!If the doc is in high demand and is saturated w patients as it is- what is wrong with making a little extra? Any average joe Dr. cannot do such a thing because people will not see him/her , but one who is established and wants to make a little extra money should be able to do so. This is called being a good business man. |
