they coupled the fines with the coding system, i asked medicare patientsfy dropped out of the system, would you still see me? if a doctor drops out of medicare, the government forces them to do it all or none so none of my parents would have patients would have been reimbursed. i dropped out of the system, only 10% saw me. i literally had to move my practice ten miles north where there are students can acne, because they disappeared from scottsdale. i regrew my practice. you can not maintain a practice if the patient doesn t have insurance reimbursement. neil: well put. i hope things turn around but you re bold to talk like you are. be well, good seeing you. thank you very much. tax day protests are under way. how will the mainstream media
