Reply #13: Why would Dean side with GOP? MONEY! [View All]

[Octafish]

Doctors who sided with Gingrich didn't like Clinton's plan because they thought it would take money out of their pockets.

Of course, these physicians were right. The government had to ask them to limit compensation in order to put the brakes on Medicaid spending.

It's weird to capitalist and commie alike — doctors now get less money from the government than they do for the same procedure for a patient with a private health insurance company.

Now I know Dean is cheap — he said so on Jay Leno the other night. I didn't know he was THAT cheap.

Lots of doctors don't because there's no money to be made, after expenses. Does anyone know if Dean limited treatment of Medicaid patients at his office? If so, that would REALLY be Newt-lite.
