to the bottom”

Remind us again why Ted Cruz is crazy for wanting to stop this mess.
New York doctors are feeling queasy about ObamaCare — and many won’t
participate in the new national insurance program because they fear they’ll
go broke, The Post has learned.
“ObamaCare is going to send me more patients to see and then cut the
payments to provide the care — that’s what’s going to happen,” predicted
Donald Moore, a primary-care doctor in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. “I will
not accept it.”
Moore claims that President Obama made a big mistake by requiring
uninsured residents to obtain medical coverage from for-profit insurers
through the ObamaCare health exchanges instead of through public health
programs like Medicaid.
Under tremendous pressure to keep costs down and profits up, Moore said
he’s concerned that commercial insurers will pay doctors less for patient
visits and services than either Medicaid or Medicare.
Many doctors, he argues, won’t be able to cover their costs with such
skimpy fees.
Moore scoffed, “Who’s going to sustain the losses? The insurance
companies? It’s basically going to be a race to the bottom.”
Despite a much publicized rollout, many other doctors said they haven’t
decided whether to become ObamaCare providers, because they haven’t been
notified by insurers or the state about reimbursement rates.
“I have not spoken with anyone who has made a decision to participate
in the exchanges. We simply don’t have any information about which we can
make a decision,” said Dr. Paul Orloff, president of the New York County
Medical Society.
“We have no idea what the reimbursements will be or what the claims-
form process will entail.”
Other than that, things are going great. At least now that the media isn’t
distracted by the Obama Shutdown they’re free to do their jobs now. Sure. | f******m

一个牙医朋友的说法跟这个纽约医生说的一样。这个牙医诊所开在高级老人公寓附近，
他的客户都是有钱有闲保险很优的人群。他提供非常周到的服务，让病人开开心心地多
跑几趟，觉得自己得到最好的治疗。诊所也能多用些名目向保险公司收费，老人家们虽
然最后也要多付一些自付额，还是很开心。>>>这个医生就非常反对欧记健保，虽然他
评估自己的客户都还是继续用私人保险的多。
第二个是物理治疗科医生，他经营着一间健身房，一个月才收25元的会费。也就是请几
个part-time健身教练，教练们都还得自己购买执业保险。医生每天就在健身房晃，和
来运动的人打招呼，回去就跟这些会员的保险公司收诊疗费。他没有请物理治疗师，也
没有任何治疗器具，但是他可以跟保险公司请"visist"和"运动处方"的钱。所以他最喜
欢Medicare，因为私人保险公司会对他的请款啰嗦。>>>据说前两年他已经开始在赚欧
记健保提供给老人的钱的。
第三个是中国中医师。经营walk-in clinic。以前免费，现在普通人收十几块，退伍军
人免费。我不敢问以前免费的时候靠什么赚，只知道现在有大笔的退伍军人fund。>>>>
他就超级期待欧记健保，一直跟我说这是大大好事。

MEDICAID的买了带补贴的商业保险，如果医生再不收这些人，岂不是病人更少了吗，那
岂不是更加赚不到钱。至于商业保险公司要怎么调整给医生的钱，难道医生以前没有来
回遇到这种事情吗？ | g*q
