Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Lynn, Just curious as to what you think about the HMO's that have not fulfilled their mandate (what should be done with them) as they have no interest in lowering their overheads (admin expense is about 30% vs Medicare 3% and Medicare has received a higher satisfaction rating then HMO's)? If we want to be a viable profession we need to become more involved and work with making changes that must occur. I was appalled that so many LAc's are out of business after 5 years. At this rate, it sounds like we are a sinking ship. Healthcare needs reform and we need to step up and become included in that discussion, asking to be left out is not working for us thus far. I guess this really begs the question of whether or not we want to be considered a legit healthcare profession vs an oddity. Mike W.
