Report: Employers Subsidize Public Health System by $88 Billion: Somebody's Got to Pay the Docs

My father is a podiatrist. Everyone always asks me why I never became a doctor. My reply is always the same: "Every night my father would come home and complain about how Medicare is literally squeezing him for every penny, and how insurance companies are bilking him out of house and home." So I decided to join the other side :)

Somebody has to pay the difference of the subsidy that providers receive from the gov't. This is the first study that quantifies how much that difference is.

Draw your own conclusions, but in order to fix a problem you first need all the facts. This is a step in the right direction. The article lives here.
