Got out of sink with the comments, but Bill we have a lot of nurses in my family, including my daughter.

The quality and types of doctors we have are changing and have been for some time.

As for myself, it has been an ongoing fight with private insurance companies to get paid for my services. They have many barriers and loopholes and you can spend as much time dealing with paper as your patients. But I have many more problems collecting from county, state, and federal payors (eg., Medi-Cal). Nationalized health care may be my stimulus to retire someday.
