Over-booking is a huge revenue enhancer.

And if doctors would cut their billing rates, they'd actually realize greater revenues. :-)

If they "suck", why would patients use them to such an extent that they can overbook?

In previous posts, I have inadvertently used "Consumers For Patients Rights" when I meant "Conservatives For Patients Rights".
Just a clarification...

Yes Rb...a disfigured system where the consumer/buyer is too many steps away from the actual patient. Also modeled after liberal [[organized labor) principles of mandates for employer to be the purchaser.

Why didn't anyone vote for "Amount of business and profits indicates his/her success"?

Is that not a factor in choosing a physician?

Because liberals don't use logic??

Enjoy your arrogance?

BTW...I didn't mention profit, I mentioned how much in demand the the Physician's services were. Two very distinct things.

So, according to your logic, Brittany Spears is a far better singer than Leontyne Price, KISS is better than Led Zep, Billy Joel is better than ...anyone
