WAGE CONTROLS ON THOSE THAT SAVE OUR LIVES

There are approximately 280,000 medical doctors in the United States of America, excluding psychiatrists. The largest U. S. healthcare paymaster is Medicare, which each year lowers the reimbursement to these afore-mentioned physicians. It is nothing less than wage control by the government. But each year Congress has overruled Medicare and waived these cuts, thus creating a huge discrepancy between what they "should" be paid under wage control and what Congress waives wages to.




There are 485 members of Congress.



There is a pay discrepancy of Medicare to doctors around $8,000,000,000 this year (and around $220,000,000,000 over the ten years Congress uses for what it calls "budgeting" by the Congressional Budget Office).



The $ 8,000,000,000 divied up among the 280,000 docs is over $28,500 in pay this year for each of them being arbitrarily and capriciously controlled by those 485 members of Congress.



Or put another sad way, each single Congressperson controls $28,500 in compensation for 577 doctors.



IS THIS THE AMERICA OUR FOUNDERS FORSAW, PHYSICIAN LIVELIHOODS CONTROLLED BY POLITICS?
