The problem with Congress besides their having perfect insurance, is they aren't physicians or medical people. They think it is all about Big Pharma, etc. Interesting, that they want to do away with Big Pharma except for those who get kickbacks. One thing they have no idea about is the waste due to patients going to the ED all the time.

We should be able to negotiate. Insurance companies, especially Medicaid negotiate all the time with pharmacies. Self-pay for Accutane: $1,000 per month. Accutane for Medicaid free. Why? Because Maine is 65% Medicaid.

By the way, how would I find out statistics on solo or private or solo/private physicians in my state?
