It takes about a year and a half to two years to go broke seeing only Medicare patients. Much faster with Medicaid only.

Very sad. Not much to do with greed, more to do with expenses greater than revenues.

I believe that a civilized society has provisions for the less fortunate. Currently that risk (i.e. financial cost) devolves to the primary care providers, and to the specialists who have what I call a "social ethic."
