I love my primary care doctor who is also my cardiologist. He is amazing. Explains everything, and is never rushed. The only negative is sometimes he is off schedule. I just had open heart surgery and that was also wonderful. The techs, nurses, PAs, and doctors were great. In simple terms, I am thrilled with the care I got and except for one nurse from hell, I have no complaints about care and I have the utmost respect for those who helped me. Now the dark side. I cannot imagine how many people are preparing bills, sending them to Medicare and then to my supplemental insurance. And how many questions I have about billing and how many phone calls I have to make. I am sure that the cost of administering payments is much higher than the cost of care. And yet none of that administrative work prevents disease or cures me. We need a single payer system and need to reduce the non-care-related paperwork. And let the healers heal.
