I think it's interesting that there is a GRIP of cash going out of this country everyday for the benefit of other countries and it's citizens. There's a lot of money there, and a daily haircut in spending across the board could fund TPO......for this countries citizens.

The Public Option is supposedly similiar to Medicare for Seniors. The hospitals and Doctors are already accepting that. But some don't.
There are plenty of clinics around me that will take cash from you for a visit. Around a $100.00, walk in or appointment, without insurance. A $100.00 for a general office visit and a script or two. Really? That's what insurance companies pay?

It sounds like TPO wants to mandate that everyone accept it if they want to continue with Medicare, and wants to tie the rates to Medicare rates. And that's where the insurance companies stand to lose, and likely, why they are fighting this. All of a sudden they are dealing with competition that can take away their current pool of customers they bill to provide coverage for.

Really, does anyone think it's reasonable to pay $100.00 for the visit alone? Never mind the 'scripts...
