My neighbor is an anesthesiologist. He gets to bill $125 for an intubation and the happy gas when Medicaid/Medicare is footing the bill. Welcome to single payer health care.

The kit...just the fooking disposables cost $75.

Would you go through God knows how many years of med school and residency when you could make better money fixing toilets?

He's been sued once. By a Medicaid patient.

Patient went into the procedure with a loose tooth (which was noted) and it fell out post-op. His insurance said screw it, let's settle and they wrote a check for $5K to make it go away. Never mind that the patient was likely old, calcium-deficient and hadn't been to a dentist since the Yalta Conference.

All you Hope and Changers better get a clue. I have a $1200 Medicare wheelchair sitting unused in my garage that you bought for my mother.
