DJP Update 8-1-2011 No recent DJP Updates because of DC debt crisis & tweets; recent samples
Need to get powerful message about the risk to medical care if continued price-fixing and decreased payment to physicians. More bureaucracy, more regulations, & continued price-fixing will only decrease access to care. Some in recent debate understand this concept; most don’t pay attention to it. Medical organizations need to be bold and get message out! If current situation continues and burdens increase, there will be more physicians getting out of patient treatment or becoming employees or leaving medicine for business world, or retiring. You can count on it. There is nothing wrong with being an employee IF that is what you want to do. But it shouldn’t be because solo practice or small group are no longer options. In the end, greatest harm will be to patients if current trends are not reversed.
Some tweets below. Links in tweets lead to articles. More tweets at www.twitter.com/DJPNEWS Be sure to listen to Senator Marco Rubio 2 speeches below in tweets.
Tired of hearing Americans who are in debate about the future of our country being called “terrorists”. And to think real terrorists frequently are not called terrorists. Shame!
