Neither of these doctors accepts Medicaid patients for 2 reasons... they take months to get paid and the patients either don't show up on time or have never even bothered to do the prep. You do know what the prep is for? I so very much wish you could have this conversation with my wife... she would gut you like a fish. I hope if you have a colonoscopy that they give you a NP with a very nervous twitch or a bad case of the hiccups.
You call it ignorant and yet you confuse Medicare with Medicaid. There are terrible patients who are paying their own way or with great insurance - you can ask my wife, who has a Dr. in front of her name.
I've had a colonoscopy (and endoscopy, even more fun), I know the prep and what it entails.
And bring on any newcomers - I'd welcome the discussion!
Also, I was sarcastic in one of my previous responses, but you identified a major issue with the current system that you are so happy with - billing is a nightmare, dealing with so many insurance companies, providers and more. A simplified single-payer system would cut down on a lot of that bureaucracy and simplify costs and billing.
