Did anyone see the story about the NY doctor (I think NY) who allows those patients without insurance to pay a flat monthly fee of $79 for prevention care etc? The government... yes the GOVERNMENT came down on him, saying he could not do that and had to increase his fees for when it was sick care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO do they think they are? Here's a guy who found a solution and the government wanted it's cut (insurance companies complained) I guess???

I mean, next thing they will regulate lawyers and no flat fee to keep them available?..unless the govt is paid a stipend??? Wonder if they would let that fly, or then fight it.

I hope the doctor wins his case. That is sooooooooo UN American imo.

Are we still ranting? I do understand how some people use and need their computers and internet (such as coming to PC ) but I don't have pity for anyone who stands there smoking and 3 kids running around drinking sodas etc complaining about not having any money for food. We can all cut somewhere if we have to... unfortunately, for many it's cutting needful things. We'll get through this, though.

Thank God Psych Central is free! (or do you not know about sites that charge fees?)
