Can't quite believe it

Can't quite believe this article, but seems to be "open hunting season" on Physicians (ie, more and more articles like this coming out)

See, the problem I have with this article isn't that I support this particular Physician's "fee", but moreso that the author failed to comment on the global "shafting" Physicians are taking. Let me share a few examples....

1. Insurance company's frequent changing of the rules, altering physician billing, undercutting physician reimbursement
2. Dropping Medicare reimbursement to Physicians, in particular, Family Physicians
3. Pending "pay-for-performance" requirements for reimbursement. While I agree with being "paid" to provide excellent medical care, why is it that I should be "punished" (ie not reimbursed) if a patient refuses the recommended medical care?
4. Decreasing graduate medical education funds for the training of new physicians
5. "bundling" by insurance companies, that is refusing to pay for more than one service on the same day
6. the list continues
