Hack, never thought of that .......
To add to your list on your brain, I recently worked for an MD who had maintained the autonomy of his private practice by not converting to Electronic Medical records (foregoing a $75K bonus paid for by the Feds for doing so) and keeping his complete staff at less than 10 employees.
He unendingly bitched about the administrative costs of the ACA and was and remains an ardent supporter of Trump who is reasonably certain is going to not enforce many of the mandates that create these administrative cost increases which he quotes a figure in the neighborhood of $500M.
When the ACA was rolled out, private contractors bid on (well, maybe just given contracts depending on who they knew) and some of these new administrators are pulling town 6 figure salaries for administrating.
He was pissed about that as the amount of money he is paying himself every year from his practice has probably dropped over 40% in the last 5y due to the huge decrease in reimbursement he suffers.
His claim is that administrative costs of the ACA are directly eating into his reimbursements stating the money came from somewhere to hire these clowns. I don't think he is too far off base.
