Doctors don't set prices- the hospitals they work in do, as well as insurance companies. So put your pitchforks away...

And who exactly works day in and day out with the hospitals? The doctors do, not the patients. Patients apply pressure to doctors, doctors then are incentivized to apply force to the hospitals and the malpractice lawyers.

If you don’t like it, then work for a new hospital or work with other doctors to form your own lower cost practice. Pitchfork will not be put away, you jackass.

Go on youtube to learn how to remove that brain tumor yourself. Maybe you can use that pitchfork as a hemostat.

Good luck with that attitude. You will be replaced with AI and the world will be better for it.

Good luck with YOUR attitude, and actually finding a doctor that wants you as a patient. If you haven't noticed there are more patients and fewer doctors in this country and MOST doctors are not taking new patients. So finding patients is NOT the problem...but finding a doctor is.

After Obamacare, private practice doesn’t exist anymore. One of the main reasons, health care costs have sky-rocketed recently. Now, doctors work for the hospitals and our treated just like normal employees. Similar to what happened to engineers 20-40 years ago.
