Augh. Medical care in this country? So fucked up. My dad's a podiatrist in private practice in D.C. Fully a third of his patients are on Medicare or Medicaid, and every year he gets paid less for providing the same amount of care, and he has to jump through more bureaucratic hoops to get even that. It's ridiculous. I don't know if it's a comfort to know that doctors are every bit as frustrated by the situation as you, but they really are.
