reimbursement cuts to doctors

Matthew Rushing

How insurance exchanges will affect doctor's incomes
by: Leigh Page July 10 2013

Due to the new "affordable care act" doctors may face substantial cuts in their pay checks. Since the ACA passed doctors must now accept new patients and exchange patients, by doing this  doctors lose 30%-40% for reimbursement from the insurance companies that they work with now. I think that cutting the pay of doctors is not right, doctors now have to deal with more paperwork per patient and they are facing pay cuts. I think that it is not right that our doctors who work hard and save and change lives every day should have to face pay cuts on 30%-40%, let me know what you think.

  1. That is unfair that this happens because of the government interfering.

  2. Since the doctors make a lot of money it isn't as big of a deal as all the government workers that DO NOT have a job.

  3. I don't think it is fair at all for doctors to have pay cuts. Their jobs are important because they save lives.

  4. I agree with you completely. It is unfair to cut their salaries just because the government can't come up with a decision. Same thing to furlough the military.

  6. I think the last thing we should do is lower the wages of doctors. They work way too hard to have to have their wages cut so substantially.
