I know my doctor is very concerned. The extra staff he has to hire to understand & handle the insurance issues now struggle with the red tape. Imagine what it will be like with a complete change? How long will it take for a staff member, as well as each doctor, insurance representative, lab tech, etc....to learn what's in those 1000+ pages?
