Subject:   Family doctor's patient list...pay to stay
Date:   2/8/2012 10:57:58 AM

I've been a patient of my family practice doctor for about 18 years and my wife more than 20 years. Last week we each received a letter that in order to remain on our doctor's patient list we would need to pay $1,500 per year each. In return, the doctor will reduce the number of patients that he will see in any one day and provide less rushed and more personal care with a focus on preventive medicine. Has this happened to anyone or someone you know? Is this a new trend by private practice doctors to mitigate ObamaCare? It would seem an effective approach to eliminate less affluent patients from his patient list and probably all medicaid patients.
