I'm not sure that anyone in the Obama camp, or anyone else's for that matter, would be blind enough to overlook what would happen to this economy if our doctors weren't being reimbursed fairly for the work they do.
Medicaid patients are often the ones that no show, and when they do they come late...but they are also often the most appreciative of patients, who are in desperate need for help from our optometrists.
I don't claim to know what its like out in the real world, I have only been recently accepted into optometry school, but I wish that the people of our world, and specially the well educated, affluent, and capable individuals of our society would step it up every once in a while, and help out their fellow men and women in need.
If you are Jill the Optometrist and are making over $250,000 a year, how badly are you hurting for that couple of thousand you may be paying in extra taxes to help out someone?
