KK....Arguing cost of running a medical practice or practices with you reminds me of........we lets use an analogy we can all get behind here.

It reminds me of a texas bass fisherman walking out on the Hoh in Feb in his new simms waders and jacket just out of the box one hour ago and explaining to all the old boys there how they are doing it all wrong as he read in Field and stream the only way to catch a steelhead is with a nightcrawler.

Malpractice cost are directly passed to consumers. At my offices and every office around. Not a sole I dont know out here in the sticks, we all do it. These are fee for service practices and not large hospitals but facts are facts. Take it for what it is. We can argue about how much cheaper insur would be with reform or not......that depends on malpractice comp used, but as they come down so would cost out of pts pockets. I know lawyers support your side of the isle but the issue is true, I live it everyday.
