Cash-only doctors abandon the insurance system

My turn to go wow just wow. 10 employees per doctor... now THAT'S overhead. I don't go to a lot of doctors but the ones I do have one person handling insurance paperwork, the rest working with patients. The doctor I see once a year has two employees, the dentist 4. My wife's special doctor has 4. most practice doctors combine into one suite and run a fleet of assistants shuffling patients in and out, but I don't think Dr. Cotton's group had 30 employees.

But for many years we only carried major illness and used fast care clinics for minor problems like cuts and coughs. I think that would be the cheapest way to go.

Will be interesting to see how this all shakes out, still confused on how a test costing 90 bucks can be had for 3...

WOW, the doctor I go to has 3 in the office, with two nurse practitioners and about 7-8 RNs. Then there is is the 10 or so adminsitration people.
