27. I work for a doctor who wants to drop all insurance.

Not only are these insurance companies ripping off the patient with high premiums, they are not paying the doctors enough to cover the cost of certain procedures.

The boss says not to make any appointments for physicals unless it is for a long standing patient or for cash. He says he gets only the copay, nothing more. He would drop all insurance if he could. Until one of his long standing patients, an 80 year old retired school teacher, wants to see him. Then he remembers why patients have insurance.
