I used to see a doctor who had an angry note in his front office stating he would charge less if he could but his group had negotiated a price with Medicare and it was against the law for him to charge less. In lieu, he took donations to pay for the needy and I strongly suspect laundered his own profits into that pot effectively circumventing Medicare’s insane rules. I suspect this because lots of people used the donations but he would never accept any from me.
