I don't have a complaint about what my Dad decided to do with his own practice, I respect the stance he took to do the best he could for his patients, not charging them for unnecessary tests while giving them the treatments they actually needed. You know, being a real doctor with ethical standards.
Rush never influenced him at all. He was a doctor with decades of experience who knew what his patients needed. You have to understand that people of integrity actually exist, at least on the right side of things.
If you vote Republican, the country you save just might be your own.
I can guarantee you that a doctor would love to have a person make a private deal with him to pay cash every year for minor services just to keep the insurance companies out of the picture. They don't like that they have to hire a full-time worker just to handle insurance claims. Do that and you can buy a high deductible, catastrophic care plan that costs a lot less.
