Health/Medical Title: Survey: Physicians Prefer Medicare to Private Plans DENVER — Physicians may not be enamored of Medicare, but they like it better than private insurance plans, according to a survey by the Medical Group Management Association. In MGMA's Payer Performance Study—covering more than 1,700 group practices—physician groups ranked Medicare Part B well ahead of six large private insurers in terms of overall satisfaction. The survey asked members of MGMA to rank seven of the largest payers (Medicare Part B, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Coventry, and Anthem) on payer communications, provider credentialing, contract negotiation, payment processing, systems transparency, and overall satisfaction. Medicare led the pack with a mean aggregate satisfaction score of 3.59 on a 6-point scale. Aetna took second place with a score of 3.14. The big loser? UnitedHealthcare, with a score of 2.45.

A friend's doctor told her that Medicare actually pays better than Blue Shield.
#8. To: lucysmom (#1) A friend's doctor told her that Medicare actually pays better than Blue Shield. One of my closest friends packed up his family, and moved out of the country. He and his wife are both doctors. They decided they weren't going to put with the ob@m@-c@re SOCIALIST system.
#9. To: Capitalist Eric (#8) Maybe you could join them.
#10. To: lucysmom (#9) You first. You're a fucking SOCIALIST. I'm sure there are LOTS of countries that'd love to have a parasite like you: Cuba, Norway, France, China... oh, forget that last one... they SHOOT parasites. Then again, maybe you *should* go. You're a fucking waste of flesh, so why don't you just die?
#11. To: Capitalist Eric (#10) I'm sure there are LOTS of countries that'd love to have a parasite like you: Cuba Cuba doesn't put up with parasites. You work or you starve. ditto for the old Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, etc. It's only the decadent Europeans and Americans that allow lazy able bodied people to suck the lifeblood out of society.

I guess all that talk about Cuba being a communist country is more of that GOP BS. According to your description they fit that capitalist ideal of 'survival of the fittest' to a 'T'.
