Irritation Among Doctors Amid Rising Insurance Costs
Doctors have it hard these days. Pressure from insurance companies is one issue. Keeping up with the latest medical developments is another issue. Finally sick patients who don’t have the finances to deal with their ailments is another worry.
Doctors do not make as much money as you may imagine – an average of $200,000. In addition they may now have to pay about $50000 over 5 years towards medical malpractice insurance. This is why more physicians favor a national health insurance program than before. More doctors feel that the present system obstructs good patient care.
Socialized medicine is the topic that is being discussed. The Medicare system has worked fine for more than 4 decades. Congress is far behind the public as usual. Many doctors are alarmed at the outrageous malpractice premium. If there is Medicare for everybody, malpractice insurance may not end, however the elimination of greed in the system may help both doctors and patients.
