Leslie,
We all feel your pain. The only solution is to return to a direct cash pay model. We need to say "I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore!"
Instead of using our energy bashing AC, I think we need to band together with Jon B. to get through this rough period, see how we can help, and continue to have AC meet the needs of us "little guys (and gals)". Yes, we are frustrated with the bugs in Version 6, but I sympathize with the task of trying to meet these governmental mandates. I do think AC may not have been viable going forward if it did not try to include these criteria. Individuals can choose to use them or not. I still respect the core values of kind capitalism and fairness as espoused by Jon B. I think he has to allow others to help, and stop trying to do everything himself, which is an impossible task. We all have a vested interest in the continued success of AC for the good of our patients.
I have loved AC and this user board for the sense of community that it has provided for me as a new user. I no longer feel quite so isolated in my solo office.
