OK, I heard.
"Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that's out there. ... The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, 'You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out,'" Obama told a prime-time news conference. The president added: "Now, that may be the right thing to do, but I'd rather have that doctor making those decisions just based on whether you really need your kid's tonsils out or whether it might make more sense just to change; maybe they have allergies. Maybe they have something else that would make a difference."
There's not a thing there I disagree with. It's true.
Sorry.
Why did you not highlight...and actually seemingly ignore this part:
The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, 'You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out,'" Obama told a prime-time news conference.
Afterall, THAT is the crux of my comp[laint as it created outrage to many that was not necessary as the statement itself is not at all accurate. Pediatricians do not MAKE that decision.....EVER.
