how can this be true? how are they in business? serious question.
I was talking about govt insurance. I don't think primary care doctors will get paid enough to stay in business in the future if their payer mix consists of majority medicare/medicaid (govt insurance).
Can you tell me how a private practice doctor could stay in business with a 100% medicaid payer mix?

Medicaid doesn't pay shite. Medicare is ok. Blue Cross pays great. I do just fine with about a 60/40 mix of private insurance and medicare with very little Medicaid. Now if I was 100% mcare/caid, I'd be f$%ked. I'd make a decent living though, because I've kept my overhead low.
