Back in my hellion days the bumper sticker read: ass, grass or cash, nobody rides for free. Now it reads: cash, check or credit card, nobody rides for free. Regards--- Zip

the article has a lot of truth to it


the one surgeon on there who makes 1.2 million is right when he says that medicine is a business. The less insurance reimburses the physician the more and more profits the insurance company makes.

and notice how he says physician reimbursements are not what is skyrocketing the cost of health care.. its the bureaucrats..
