PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Raymond Kordonowy, MD
Greetings
IPALC followers!
We are moving into the holiday season and on behalf of our
IPALC members I want to wish you a joyful and happy holiday season. We will not be sending another newsletter out until after the New Year.
The recent November election seems to have sent a message to our Federal Leadership that Americans want their traditional values upheld. This means we want our individual liberties supported and enforced. It has been consistently demonstrated that most Americans have not been in favor of OBAMACARE and the president elect made it very clear during the campaign that getting rid of this law is a top priority.
s open for business to serve our local patrons with excellent and cost effective health care. I am hopeful that we can provide a forum for our IPALC members to post their prices for services.
While
I have been posting my prices for years most doctors don't do this. The reasons are several. One is contractually. For some doctors who sign insurance contracts they are forbidden to request direct cash payment from patients. If we change our health legislation to enhance free market and individual choice, then doctors and patients can begin true price discovery. If we know what routine care costs and see that it is affordable we can stop insuring for routine services. This is how we get our insurance premiums to go down. Surrendering all market control to a few monopoly entities like large health insurance companies and
large hospital systems is un-American and assures higher costs.
Instead of insuring for what is called "first dollar coverage" (our present health insurance products) we could
have health care "credit" - we could further cut back on our insurance premiums and insurance claims. I truly wish the federal government would create the regulatory environment to allow this type of product to compete for health insurance.
Humbly Submitted:
Raymond W. Kordonowy MD
IPALC President
