I would agree with you if not for the FACT that everyone who I've ever treated who chose go their own ended up stiffing me for the bill whether or not they plenty of money to pay their bill. I'm sure you're saying, oh, I'd never do that. Well, I bet these people would have said that too but when it came time to pay, they all have reneged.

Medical care is a service like anything else. If you're stiffed then require payment up front. It's your business, run it the way you want.
When I was a kid and became ill my mother would call the doctor, he'd make a house call and my parents paid him for services rendered. My parents were honest. They raise me to be. Those who stiff a business owner never had good parents.

100% agreed.
Just wait until all of the provisions of the Obama plan kick in too... we're going to be hearing LOT of complaints from people who suddenly are aware of what all that fancy talkin' means when it's translated to their pocketbooks.
Well said and very, very true.
Couldn't agree more!!!
I didn't renege.
Due to a failure to renew my motorcycle insurance on time (renewal notice went to my parents house, and I'd moved out), my insurance lapsed two days before I wrecked my bike. I paid my ER bill, the Xray bill, the hospital bill. All of it.
I hate insurance with a passion, but had I not become covered under my wife's policy a few months later, there's no way I could have afforded the surgery for my collar bone (~$10k).
It's a wicked circle...

They should be pretty easy to find. Just look for REALLY crowded clinics where nobody speaks english.
I applaud you as an upstanding citizen. You are a rare breed, my friend.
I'm required by law to take a certain number of days on call to the ER each month. I have to treat whoever comes in, needing services of my specialty, regardless of their ability to pay. So, no it's not like any other business. It should be, but it's not.
