WOW! Lots of replies to todays discussion. I really appreciate everyone's
viewpoints, it is good to hear things from so many different perspectives...
but... many are echoing my concerns about the future of this profession.
Some long-time business owners have said that if they knew back when they
started that things would be this way, they would have been in a different
field... this is disconcerting to me!
I dont want to be ripping off who I can just to make ends meet for myself,
so I can stay alive another day to start the process over again, or worse
slave away for someone else to do the above! All the while, (as many have
alluded to) the insurance exec's. get richer!!!
We are the only ones who do this right?!? Can we as a group effect enough
change to make this field something worthwhile again? (Not just
monetarily!!!) Kudos to the folks toiling in D.C. that's the kind of stuff
we ALL need to be involved in... let's get in the game, not battle with each
other for who can do the most work for the least amount of reimbursment!
