Another huge expense for doctors is liability coverage.

We have this shit ass backwards. Cops should be forced to carry liability coverage out of pocket, not doctors.

And doctors should have a union.

    Are you familiar with relative value units (RVUs)?

    If not prepare to be furious. It essentially is Healthcare on commission. Everytime a physician orders a test, provides a service, etc, it counts towards an RVU quota. Multiple systems in my area base 100% of a physicians salary on meeting that quota. The minimum one bases 15% of the physicians salary on meeting that quota.
