Same goes for doctors, nurses, etc...

That doesn't seem to be our country right now.McKinssey did a study on doctors and why they are compensated so high several years ago.

Can you go to see a doctor and only pay them a fee if your cancer is cured?

(they might argue over who pays for it, but I don't think they'd argue that it's common decency to provide care for those who need it)And certainly all doctors (who live by the Hippocratic Oath) disagree...But I completely understand that there are people in this world who don't care about other's health and well-being, and that's their right...

Have you used the same doctor, dentist, auto mechanic, etc. since you first starting using such professionals?

A Realtor has many of the same responsibilities to their client (who signed the listing agreement) as does a CPA, attorney or a doctor for that matter.My comments were never directed at how you or any investor conducts this startegy or business.

Most doctor's I know pay six figures just for mal-practice insurance.Unless you address the real CORE of the problem, nothing will get fixed.

Thought many of you would get a kick out of this:http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/lake/os-mount-dora-doctor-tells-patients-go-aw20100401,0,658649.storyPersonally, while I don't agree with his specific philosophy (you could have voted for Obama and have been against the specific health care bill, which seems to be the more important point), I respect him for taking a risk with his livelihood to stand up for his beliefs.Then again, it may have been a strategic move, as with all the press coverage he is no-doubt getting locally, he'll probably drum up a lot of business!

It will lower a portion of the doctor's costs, but not enough for him to treat people for free without insurance.The fact of the matter is that HMOs have been a disaster, and I am surprised that they have lasted this long.
